Abstract
Aspects of inventive concepts described herein relate to an interferometric reflectance imaging system. The system can include an imaging sensor including pixels that are preferentially sensitive to a plurality of light components; an illumination source configured to emit illumination light along an illumination path, the illumination light including the plurality of light components; and a target including a target substrate configured to support one or more nanoparticles on a surface of the target substrate. The system may be configured to, at a nominal focus position: generate an image at the imaging sensor based, at least in part, on the light reflected from the target interfering with light scattered from nanoparticles on the target substrate; and process the image to detect the nanoparticles on the target substrate.
