Spectral-domain differential interference contrast microscopy.
We present a fiber-optic low-coherence imaging technique, termed spectral-domain differential interference contrast microscopy (SD-DIC), for quantitative DIC imaging of both reflective surfaces and transparent biological specimens. SD-DIC combines the common-path nature of a Nomarski DIC interferometer with the high sensitivity of spectral-domain low-coherence interferometry to obtain high-reso...
متن کاملOrientation-independent differential interference contrast microscopy.
We describe a new technique for differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, which digitally generates phase gradient images independently of gradient orientation. To prove the principle we investigated specimens recorded at different orientations on a microscope equipped with a precision rotating stage and using regular DIC optics. The digitally generated images successfully displayed ...
متن کاملPhase contrast microscopy versus differential interference contrast microscopy as applicable to the observation of spermatozoa.
A review of available literature has shown something of a paucity of suggested and applied microscopic techniques on the identification of human spermatozoa in forensic casework. Phase contrast microscopy (PC) has been mentioned as the desirable technique by Kirk [1] and Kivela [2]. The advantages of PC as compared with bright-field are well known and would most certainly include simplifring th...
متن کاملOn-chip differential interference contrast microscopy using lensless digital holography
We introduce the use of a birefringent crystal with lensless digital holography to create an on-chip differential interference contrast (DIC) microscope. Using an incoherent source with a large aperture, in-line holograms of micro-objects are created, which interact with a uniaxial crystal and an absorbing polarizer, encoding differential interference contrast information of the objects on the ...
متن کاملDiffractive optical elements for differential interference contrast x-ray microscopy.
In this paper we introduce phase diffractive optical elements (DOEs) that beside simple focusing, can perform new optical functions in the range of x-rays. In particular, the intensity of the wavefront can be distributed with almost complete freedom. We calculated and fabricated high resolution DOEs that can focus a monochromatic x-ray beam into multiple spots displaced in a single or two plane...
