Polarized light field microscopy: an analytical method using a microlens array to simultaneously capture both conoscopic and orthoscopic views of birefringent objects

R Oldenbourg - Journal of microscopy, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
For the comprehensive analysis of anisotropic materials, a new approach, called 'polarized
light field microscopy'is introduced. It uses an LC‐PolScope to which a microlens array was …
