This article presents tools needed to reveal optical contrasts at very different scales ranging from a centimetres to nanometres. Acouto-optic imaging, photoacoustic imaging and optical coherence tomography are presented as modalities exploiting the coherence characteristics of light for optical contrast imaging.
