Popis: A direct application of digital in-line holography to liquid droplets dispersed in a continuous liquid phase is described. The droplet size imposes a regime of intermediate-field diffraction that has been little explored to date. Acquired diffraction patterns show that the usual opaque disk model is not valid and that good agreement is obtained with a thin lens model. Hologram focusing is nevertheless performed with a dedicated automated method that slightly outperforms Royer criteria. A literature review has been conducted to identify the sharpest autofocus function for our application. Droplet paths are retrieved in three dimensions simultaneously with their velocity and diameter. The developed experimental setup is a first step toward implementation of the method in more complex configurations, including pulsed flows.
