    Main Results:

    • The method effectively highlights local changes in optical properties of dynamic objects.
    • It successfully discriminates between substructural reorganization (detected via amplitude changes) and microdisplacement (detected via phase changes).
    • Sensitivity to displacements as small as several milliwavelengths was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel coherent imaging method offers enhanced sensitivity and analytical power for dynamic samples.
    • It provides a new tool for studying processes like contractile activity in muscle at a fine scale.
    • The technique is valuable for visualizing subtle optical property variations in biological and potentially other dynamic systems.
