Claim 3:
4. The optical apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising:
a source of laser light or a broad band partially coherent source of light,
collimation optics for the light from the source of laser light or the broad band partially coherent source of light,
a beam splitter arrangement configured to direct a part of the light from the source of laser light or the broad band partially coherent source of light to the sample beam in a sample arm and another part of the light from the source of laser light or the broad band partially coherent source of light to the reference beam in a reference arm,
the scanner placed at a Fourier plane of the focusing optics in the sample arm,
a three-dimensional translation stage arranged as a carrier of the sample, and
the photodetector configured to detect recombined light from the sample arm and the reference arm after the beam splitter, said photodetector connected with the computing unit, the computing unit configured to digitize and process a signal corresponding to the combination of the sample beam and the reference beam to produce the phase information and amplitude information of the combination.
