It is shown, that the designed holographic method allows to determine optical features both isotropic and anisotropic reflected surfaces of the objects understudy. On digital simulation and experimental grounds it was shown that for isotropic substances the method proposed allows to distinguish not only metals, dielectric, and semiconductors but to categorize metals according to the type of their crystal lattices and Fermi's surface of the conductivity electrons. %8 2007-03-19
