Compensated polarized light microscopy using cellophane adhesive tape

Polarized light microscopy.

Polarized light is the light in which all the rays vibrate in one plane. A polarizing microscope has two disk accessories. They are made up of polarizing plastic that allows light vibrating in one plane to pass. One of them is called a polarizer (placed below the condenser). Another similar disc is placed in the top part of the microscope and cuts off all the light vibrating in a perpendicular ...

Circuit-board Mounting Using Double-sided Adhesive Tape

In this paper, a method of using double-sided adhesive tape when mounting microwave circuit-boards is discussed. In particular, one type of adhesive tape with good features is described. The tapemounting is simple and fast to use and it is cheap. The tape that was used is soft and it can handle both high and low temperatures. These two features make the tape useful in places where parts with di...

Light field compression using disparity-compensated lifting

We propose a novel approach for light field compression that incorporates disparity compensation into 4-D wavelet coding using disparity-compensated lifting. With this approach, we obtain the benefits of wavelet coding, including compression efficiency and scalability in all dimensions. Additionally, our proposed approach solves the irreversibility limitations of previous wavelet coding approac...

A Simplified, Low-Cost Method for Polarized Light Microscopy

Malaria pigment is an intracellular inclusion body that appears in blood and tissue specimens on microscopic examination and can help in establishing the diagnosis of malaria. In simple light microscopy, it can be difficult to discern from cellular background and artifacts. It has long been known that if polarized light microscopy is used, malaria pigment can be much easier to distinguish. Howe...
