Inline holographic microscopy is known as a technique for absolute phase retrieval. Any distortion of the needed
reference wave, e.g. from the surfaces of a test slide, causes reconstruction errors. We apply a multi plane detection
technique, which generates the same information as a hologram but does not use any reference wave. The technique was
demonstrated for microscopic resolution in case of amplitude objects [1], [2]. This paper focuses on imaging and
reconstruction of phase objects. The technique is experimentally applied to a Pleurosigma test chart and a phase test
standard. Objects with a phase step of π/3 and lateral structure sizes of 2 μm are well resolved.
