Abstract

The use of optical radiation for imaging through biological tissue has developed into a major activity. There is now a whole range of methods employed by the many groups attempting to use light to accomplish this formidable objective. We have pursued electronic holography which has some significant advantages but also presents several special challenging problems. We describe various ideas we have developed to overcome them. Finally, we speculate on the ultimate capabilities of these ambitious imaging methods.
