OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic accuracy of scanning laser polarimetry. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 95 healthy subjects and 102 patients with glaucoma met all inclusion criteria. Data collected on each participant included an automated visual field examination, stereoview optic nerve head photographs, intraocular pressure measurement, and a screening and full scanning laser polarime...

NICMOS cameras 1 and 2 (with ∼ 43 and ∼ 76 mas/pixel, respectively) each carry a set of three polarizing elements to provide high sensitivity observations of linearly polarized light. The polarizers are bandpass limited and provide diffraction-limited imaging in camera 1 at 0.8 1.3μm, and in camera 2 at 1.9-2.1μm. The NICMOS design specified the intra-camera primary axis angles of the polarizer...

purpose: to quantify the intraobserver reproducibility of retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) measurements using scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation in glaucoma suspect patients. methods: twenty-six eyes of 26 glaucoma suspect patients were included. complete ophthalmologic examination and standard automated perimetry were performed for all of them. rnfl measurements were...

Abstract The degree of polarization the beams must be precisely measured, both to enable development and optimization beams, normalize spin dependent effects observed in experiments. Ion beam polarimetry is particularly challenging since physics processes available for are themselves subject active research. This chapter describes ion as implemented at Relativistic Heavy Collider (RHIC), only h...

An extensive theoretical literature predicts that X-ray Polarimetry can directly determine relevant physical and geometrical parameters of astrophysical sources, and discriminate between models further than allowed by spectral and timing data only. X-ray Polarimetry can also provide tests of Fundamental Physics. A high sensitivity polarimeter in the focal plane of a New Generation X-ray telesco...

Abstract Electron polarimetry benefits from the ability to use processes with well-known analyzing powers, hence enabling high precision measurements. Several techniques are employed measure electron beam polarization, including Mott, Møller, and Compton polarimetry. Each technique has particular advantages disadvantages, depending on application. This chapter will focus used emphasis challenge...
