Abstract:
The invention relates to a system ( 20 ) for full-field interference microscopy imaging of a three-dimensional diffusing sample ( 206 ). Said system includes: an interference device ( 200 ) including a reference arm on which a reflective surface ( 205 ) is arranged, the interference device being suitable for producing, at each point of an imaging field when the sample is placed on a target arm of the interference device, interference between a reference wave, obtained by reflection of incident light waves onto a basic surface of the reflective surface ( 205 ) corresponding to said point of the imaging field, and a target wave obtained by backscattering of incident light waves by means of a voxel of a slice of the sample at a given depth, said voxel corresponding to said point of the imaging field; an acquisition device ( 208 ) suitable for acquiring, at a fixed path length difference between the target arm and the reference arm, a temporal series of N two-dimensional interferometric signals resulting from the interference produced at each point of the imaging field; and a processing unit ( 220 ) configured to calculate an image (IB, IC) representing temporal variations in intensity between said N two-dimensional interferometric signals.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for full-field interference microscopy imaging of a diffusing three-dimensional sample comprising:\n an interference device comprising:\n an object arm configured to receive the sample, and \n a reference arm on which a reflection surface is arranged, the interference device being adapted to produce, when the sample is disposed on the object arm of the interference device, at each point of an imaging field, an interference between a reference wave obtained by reflection of incident light waves on an elementary surface of the reflection surface corresponding to said point of the imaging field, and an object wave obtained by backscattering of incident light waves by a voxel of a slice of the sample at a given depth, said voxel corresponding to said point of the imaging field; \n an acquisition device configured to acquire, with fixed optical path difference between the object arm and the reference arm, a temporal succession of N two-dimensional interferometric signals resulting from the interferences produced at each point of the imaging field; and \n a processing unit configured to compute an image representative of temporal variations of intensity between said N two-dimensional interferometric signals.
