6. Commercial devices

A variety of phase imaging systems are available on the market. Two categories can be distinguished: holographic or phase systems without aperture synthesis, and tomographic systems.

In phase imaging, Lyncée tec offers a complete off-axis holographic microscopy system operating in transmission (biological applications) or reflection (materials). The system enables high-speed acquisitions, limited only by the camera's cadence. Coupled with the software, applications include cell tracking, morphological measurements, high-throughput screening, access to information on ionic flows, hematological parameters, etc.

Several companies offer modules that can be installed on the output port (c-mount) of a conventional optical microscope. For example, Phasics offers a camera-based phase imaging system based on
