Claim 0:
1. A device for imaging an object comprising:
a flow path configured to permit an object to flow therethrough;
an emission unit configured to emit at least one electromagnetic wave having at least partial coherence, wherein the emission unit is configured to emit the at least one electromagnetic wave towards the flow path to cause at least one optical interaction between the at least one electromagnetic wave and the object;
an electromagnetic wave modulating unit configured to modulate one or both of a phase or an amplitude of the at least one electromagnetic wave following the at least one optical interaction to produce at least one modulated electromagnetic wave, wherein the electromagnetic wave modulating unit comprises a plurality of areas configured to modulate the at least one electromagnetic wave differently;
an electromagnetic wave intensity detecting unit configured to detect at least one intensity of the at least one modulated electromagnetic wave; and
a generation unit configured to generate at least a phase image or an amplitude image of the object based at least in part on the at least one intensity of the at least one modulated electromagnetic wave detected by the electromagnetic wave intensity detecting unit.
