Quantitative Assessment of Birefringent Skin Structures in Scattered Light Confocal Imaging Using Radially Polarized Light
The polarization characteristics of birefringent tissues could be only partially obtained using linearly polarized light in polarization sensitive optical imaging. Here we analyze the change in polarization of backscattered light from birefringent structures versus the orientations of the incident polarizations using linearly, circularly and radially polarized light in a cross-polarized confoca...
متن کاملLight emission from extracts of luminous fungi.
In some luminous organisms (firefly, Cypridina, and bacteria) it is possible to obtain cell-free luminescence by the combination of a cold water extract (luciferase) with a hot water extract (luciferin). Failure in the past to observe such a reaction with extracts of luminous fungi can now be shown to be due to the following factors: (a) in crude aqueous extracts the luciferase is either too di...
متن کاملFluctuations in Scattered Light
Fluctuations in scattered light constitute some of the most familiar natural optical phenomena, including the twinkling of starlight, the glittering of sunlight on a rippled water surface and the shimmering of distant objects on a hot day [1]. These effects are geometrical in origin being a consequence of refraction by large-scale random variations in refractive index. Fluctuations of this kind...
متن کاملPrevention of scattered light-induced asthenopia and fatigue by a polarized filter.
BACKGROUND It has been well documented that a long-time irradiation of the eye by a strong light elicits eyestrain and fatigue. To elucidate the mechanism for the induction of light-induced fatigue and asthenopia, changes in the mouse were analyzed after white light-irradiation to the eye. METHODS C57BL/6j male mice were irradiated with white light in a specially designed room equipped with f...
متن کاملStructures in the Protoplanetary Disk of Hd142527 Seen in Polarized Scattered Light
We present Hand Ks-band polarized differential images (PDI) of the Herbig Ae/Be star HD142527, revealing its optically thick outer disk and the nearly empty gap. The very small inner working angle (∼0.1′′) and high resolution achievable with an 8m-class telescope, together with a careful polarimetric calibration strategy, allow us to achieve images that surpass the quality of previous scattered...
