Abstract
Methods and/or systems are disclosed herein for use in imaging an object including using interferometry while modifying at least one characteristic of the object (e.g., refractive index of the object).
Claims20
A method for use in imaging an object, wherein the object's refractive index is spatially distributed, wherein the method comprises:
- modifying the spatial distribution of the refractive index of the object;
- imaging the object using interferometry as the spatial distribution of the refractive index of the object is being modified to provide imaging data;
- processing the imaging data based in part on the modification to the spatial distribution of refractive index of the object;
- and
- constructing an image of the object based on the processed imaging data.
2 more elements
A system for use in imaging an object, wherein the object's refractive index is spatially distributed, wherein the system comprises:
- modification apparatus configured to modify the spatial distribution of the refractive index of an object;
- interferometry apparatus configured to image the object to provide imaging data as the spatial distribution of the refractive index of the object is being modified using the modification apparatus;
- and
- processing apparatus configured to receive the imaging data from the interferometry apparatus, wherein the processing apparatus is further configured to process the imaging data based in part on the modification to the spatial distribution of the refractive index of the object and to construct an image of the object based on the processed imaging data.
