A lens-less holographic microscope has been developed for 4-D measurement of microorganisms swimming in water. Intensity and phase images with a high resolving power and with a large depth are precisely reconstructed for moving objects in air or even in dielectric media. High-resolution microscopic tomography has also been developed for optical measurement of living tissue by using the lens-less reflection-type holographic microscope. Experimental results demonstrate tomographic 3-D imaging with diffraction limited resolution. A new method has been proposed in order to develop a super-resolution lens-less holographic microscopy. Four or more holograms with different incident angles of illuminating light are recorded to generate one hologram with a large value of the numerical aperture (NA). NA of the generated hologram can be enlarged up to a value larger than 1, and a resolution of the microscopy can be improved up to a value higher than one half of the wave length.
