Abstract
A new way of obtaining images of complex incoherently illuminated subjects is demonstrated. A correlation interferometer measures and records the square of the modulus of the two-dimensional coherence function of a thermally illuminated object and a displaced reference point source. The Fourier transform of this correlation function contains an inverted and uninverted image of the subject.Keywords
