Claim Text:
1. A method based on digital holography for determining parameters of at least one erythrocyte, the method comprising: constructing, via a splitter, an interference pattern, the interference pattern including a wave front representative of said at least one erythrocyte arised from interaction of the at least one erythrocyte and electromagnetic radiation; reconstructing, via a processor, amplitude information and phase information representative of the at least one erythrocyte wave front from the interference pattern, and the amplitude information including information on at least an absorptivity of the at least one erythrocyte at a wavelength; and determining the parameters of the at least one erythrocyte by combining, via the processor, the amplitude information and the phase information representative of the at least one erythrocyte, the parameters of the at least one erythrocyte including one or more of mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, oxygen saturation, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin of the at least one erythrocyte.
