Abstract
We describe the use of Fourier holography for recording the spatially resolved complex angular scattering spectrum from scattering samples over wide fields of view in a single or few image captures. Without resolving individual scatterers, we are able to differentiate between spherical scatterers of different sizes in solutions containing mixtures by correspondence with Mie theory. In this paper, we describe the theory behind Fourier holographic light scattering angular spectroscopy and demonstrate its performance experimentally. Such methods represent potentially efficient alternatives to the time consuming and laborious conventional procedure of light microscopy, image tiling and inspection for the characterization of morphology over wide fields of view.
