Roadmap on holography

From its inception holography has proven an extremely productive and attractive area of research. While specific technical applications give rise to 'hot topics', and three-dimensional (3D) visualisation comes in and out of fashion, the core principals involved continue to lead to exciting innovations in a wide range of areas. We humbly submit that it is impossible, in any journal document of this type, to fully reflect current and potential activity; however, our valiant contributors have produced a series of documents that go no small way to neatly capture progress across a wide range of core activities. As editors we have attempted to spread our net wide in order to illustrate the breadth of international activity. In relation to this we believe we have been at least partially successful

Digital histo-biophotonics:embossed topographic depolarization mapping of tissue samples

Abstract New Mueller matrix-based embossed depolarization mapping is developed to assess quantitatively morphological biotissues abnormalities in 3D. Typical results demonstrating polarization property variations for cardiac and liver tissues are presented
