Digital Holography (DH) has brought a new impetus to the field of holography. The fields of imaging, microscopy and metrology have all benefited from these developments. In this paper some of these developments will be described with some applications in the fields of color imaging, amplitude and phase microscopy and dynamic metrology. It is envisaged that this field will rapidly advance in the next couple of years and become an expected imaging and measurement modality especially in the field of micro, nano and bio sciences.
