Detection of Retinitis Pigmentosa by Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
Differential interference contrast microscopy is designed to image unstained and transparent specimens by enhancing the contrast resulting from the Nomarski prism-effected optical path difference. Retinitis pigmentosa, one of the most common inherited retinal diseases, is characterized by progressive loss of photoreceptors. In this study, Differential interference contrast microscopy was evalua...
متن کاملContrast sensitivity in retinitis pigmentosa.
Arden gratings were used to measure contrast sensitivity in 40 patients with retinitis pigmentosa whose Snellen visual acuity was 6/12 or better. When compared with a group of 30 normal subjects the patients with retinitis pigmentosa had substantially decreased contrast sensitivity, especially at high frequencies. The Arden grating test appeared to be a sensitive test of abnormal central visual...
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 کاملSpectral-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 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...
