Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for digital holographic microscopy. According to an aspect of the invention there is provided an off-axis digital holographic microscope comprising: a light emitter configured to provide a divergent light beam; a sensor position to receive light from the light emitter in a first path and a second path, and thereby to detect a holographic image; a reflector positioned partially in the divergent light beam so that light that encounters the reflector extends towards the sensor in the first path, and light that does not encounter the reflector extends towards the sensor in the second path; and a support structure configured to support a sample in the first path or the second path.

Abstract: An enrichment system for enrichment of a sample comprising one or more microscopic particles of interest in a fluid carrier is disclosed. The enrichment system comprises a flow cell configured to receive a portion of the sample, a plurality of sample holding chambers and a waste, each connected to a flow cell, an imaging sensor configured to obtain an image of the microscopic particles in the fluid carrier in the flow cell and a controller configured to direct passage of the portion of the fluid sample in the flow cell, in dependence on the image obtained by the imaging sensor, to one of the holding chambers or to the waste.
