Digital In-Line Holography for Large-Volume Analysis of Vertical Motion of Microscale Marine Plankton and Other Particles

Measuring the distribution, characteristics and dynamics of marine microscale plankton and other particulate matter is essential to understand the vertical flux of elements in the marine environment. Digital holographic microscopy is a powerful approach for measuring these and studying their 3-D trajectories in a relatively large observation volume. This article demonstrates a compact, in-line dig...
