The hologram keeps the information on the amplitude and phase of the field. Several holograms may keep information about the same distribution of light, emitted to various directions. The numerical analysis of such holograms allows one to emulate large [[numerical aperture]], which, in turn, enables enhancement of the resolution of [[optical microscopy]]. The corresponding technique is called [[interferometric microscopy]]. Recent achievements of interferometric microscopy allow one to approach the quarter-wavelength limit of resolution.<ref name="U1">{{Cite journal
