Abstract
An Apparatus and method to produce a hologram of a cross-section of an object includes an electromagnetic radiation assembly configured to receive a received electromagnetic radiation, such as light, from the object. The electromagnetic radiation assembly is further configured to diffract the received electromagnetic radiation and transmit a diffracted electromagnetic radiation An image capture assembly is configure to capture an image of the diffracted electromagnetic radiation and produce the hologram of the cross-section of the object from the captured image. The hologram of the cross-section includes information regarding a single cross-section of the object.

1-78. (canceled)
An apparatus configured to produce a hologram of a cross-section of an object, said apparatus comprising:
- an electromagnetic radiation assembly configured to receive a received electromagnetic radiation from the object and transmit a transmitted electromagnetic radiation based on the received electromagnetic radiation, the transmitted electromagnetic radiation including the hologram of the object;
- and
- an image capture assembly configured to capture an image of the transmitted electromagnetic radiation and produce the hologram of the cross-section of the object from the captured image, the hologram of the cross-section including information regarding a single cross-section of the object.
An apparatus configured to produce holograms of plural cross-sections of an object, said apparatus comprising:
- an electromagnetic radiation assembly configured to receive a received electromagnetic radiation from the object, diffract the received electromagnetic radiation, and transmit a diffracted electromagnetic radiation;
- an image capture assembly configured to capture at least one image of the diffracted electromagnetic radiation, and produce holograms of plural cross-sections of the object from the at least one captured image, each of the holograms including information regarding a single cross-section of the object;
- and
- a distance varying device configured to vary a distance to the object for each of the single cross sections of the object.
An apparatus configured to produce holograms of plural cross-sections of an object, said apparatus comprising:
- an electromagnetic radiation assembly configured to receive a received electromagnetic radiation from the object, diffract the received electromagnetic radiation, and transmit a diffracted electromagnetic radiation;
- an image capture assembly configured to capture at least one image of the diffracted electromagnetic radiation, and produce holograms of plural cross-sections of the object from the at least one captured image, each of the holograms including information regarding a single cross-section of the object;
- and
- an object focal plane varying device configured to vary an object focal plane location for each of the single cross sections of the object.
