Claim One:
1. 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, wherein modifying the spatial distribution of the refractive index of the object comprises delivering an external stimulus at one or more selected parameters to the object to impose a selected change in 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 interferometry imaging data; processing the interferometry imaging data to provide processed imaging data, wherein processing the interferometry imaging data to provide processed imaging data comprises: providing the one or more selected parameters of the external stimulus, and processing the interferometry imaging data with one or more image processing algorithms that take into account the selected change in the spatial distribution of the refractive index of the object by using the one or more selected parameters of the external stimulus when processing the interferometry imaging data to provide the processed imaging data, wherein processing the interferometry imaging data to provide processed imaging data comprises inverting the interferometry imaging data based in part on the modification to the spatial distribution of the refractive index of the object; and constructing an image of the object based on the processed imaging data.
