Abstract

In this paper we derive the three-dimensional scalar theory of the overall imaging process in a high-aperture interference, holographic, and correlation (heterodyne) microscope. The influence of low spatial and temporal coherence of light is completely described by means of a coherent transfer function. The results are compared with those for an ideal confocal microscope.
