Reconstruction of optical pathlength distributions from images obtained by a wide-field differential interference contrast microscope.
An image processing algorithm is presented to reconstruct optical pathlength distributions from images of nonabsorbing weak phase objects, obtained by a differential interference contrast (DIC) microscope, equipped with a charge-coupled device camera. The method is demonstrated on DIC images of transparent latex spheres and unstained bovine spermatozoa. The images were obtained with a wide-fiel...
متن کاملAdaptive Optics Calibration for a Wide-Field Microscope
Adaptive optics calibration of a novel wide-field scanning microscope is described, comparing relevant parameters for several optimization techniques. Specifically, comparisons of the optimization algorithm, image quality metrics, and the calibration image target are detailed. It is shown that stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm using image intensity as a metric provides robus...
متن کاملNear-field microscope probe for far infrared time domain measurements
A near-field probe fabrication technique for far-infrared frequencies based on photoconducting antennas is developed. A subwavelength-size field source is accomplished by means of an aperture and protruding high refractive index tip. The near-field probe is tested by using free space traveling electromagnetic pulses with a broadband spectrum in the range of 0.3–1.5 THz. A spatial resolution of ...
متن کاملMeasurements on Sea-urchin Eggs with an Interference Microscope
Observations and measurements with an interference microscope on sea-urchin eggs have established the following points. (1) The refractive index (R.I.) of the cytoplasm of the unfertilized egg is 1-375, which is equivalent to a concentration of solid matter of about 25 per cent. Very similar values were obtained from eggs 10 minutes after fertilization. (2) There may be a small drop in the R.I....
متن کاملBasic principles of microscope objectives.
Microscope objectives are perhaps the most important components of an optical microscope because they are responsible for primary image formation and play a central role in determining the quality of images that the microscope is capable of producing. Objectives are also instrumental in determining the magnification of a particular specimen and the resolution under which fine specimen detail ca...
