Three-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 کاملAlternating minimization algorithm for quantitative differential-interference contrast (DIC) microscopy
A new iterative algorithm for quantitative image reconstruction for differential-interference contrast (DIC) microscopy is presented, along with simulations demonstrating key properties of the algorithm. The algorithm is an alternating minimization (AM) algorithm based on a diffraction imaging model for DIC images. The algorithm computes a specimen’s complex transmittance function (magnitude an...
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 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 ...
