title: Spatially resolved Fourier holographic light scattering angular spectroscopy.
abstract: We show for what is the first time to our knowledge that digital Fourier holography can be used to record spatially resolved angular light scattering spectra from microscopically structured samples. This is achieved in one or a few digital image captures over large millimeter-scale fields of view. Such spectra are a sensitive measure of microscopic morphology, with wide applications in biological and medical imaging. We demonstrate good agreement between results of experiment and Mie theory for the angular scattering spectra of microspheres in water extracted from local regions within reconstructed 2 x 1 millimeter image sets.
