Linear phase imaging using differential interference contrast microscopy.

چکیده
We propose an extension to Nomarski differential interference contrast microscopy that enables isotropic linear phase imaging. The method combines phase shifting, two directions of shear and Fourier-space integration using a modified spiral phase transform. We simulated the method using a phantom object with spatially varying amplitude and phase. Simulated results show good agreement between the final phase image and the object phase, and demonstrate resistance to imaging noise.

Transport-of-intensity approach to differential interference contrast (TI-DIC) microscopy for quantitative phase imaging.
Differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy is an inherently qualitative phase-imaging technique. What is obtained is an image with mixed phase-gradient and amplitude information rather than a true linear mapping of actual optical path length (OPL) differences. Here we investigate an approach that combines the transport-of-intensity equation (TIE) with DIC microscopy, thus improving dir...
متن کاملNanoscale quantitative phase imaging using XOR-based X-ray differential interference contrast microscopy
We propose a quantitative x-ray phase imaging technique using previously demonstrated XOR objectives. The fabrication process of XOR is identical to that of a Fresnel zone-plate and as a result the same finest outermost zone width, thus spatial resolution, can be achieved. A series of phase shifts from 0 to 2p is implemented by shifting the relative position of the grating with respect to the z...
متن کاملA Phase-Shifting DIC Technique for Measuring 3D Phase Objects: Experimental Verification
Experimental verification of our previously proposed linear phase imaging technique for differential interference contrast microscopy (DIC) microscopy is presented. This technique first applies phase-shifting methods to DIC to acquire linear phase gradient images in two orthogonal directions. A special Fourier integration algorithm is then applied to the combined phase gradient images to create...
متن کاملThree-dimensional differential interference contrast microscopy using synthetic aperture imaging.
We implement differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy using high-speed synthetic aperture imaging that expands the passband of coherent imaging by a factor of 2.2. For an aperture synthesized coherent image, we apply for the numerical post-processing and obtain a high-contrast DIC image for arbitrary shearing direction and bias retardation. In addition, we obtain images at different ...
متن کاملTheoretical development and experimental evaluation of imaging models for differential-interference-contrast microscopy.
Imaging models for differential-interference-contrast (DIC) microscopy are presented. Two- and three-dimensional models for DIC imaging under partially coherent illumination were derived and tested by using phantom specimens viewed with several conventional DIC microscopes and quasi-monochromatic light. DIC images recorded with a CCD camera were compared with model predictions that were generat...
