Polarization aberrations are variations of intensity and polarization of an optical beam in the
exit pupil of an optical system, and the dependence of these variations on the position of the …

A simple, but little known technique for producing marked colour contrast in images of
weakly birefringent biological samples obtained with a polarized light microscope is …

The potentialities of polarization microscopy has been greatly increased by using specific
stains for selective enhancement of the optical anisotropy of a macromolecular constituent of …

Figure 2 Interaction of polarized light with an anisotropic crystal (see text). Note that the
PLM's rotating stage (not shown) allows one to place any vibration direction within the …

A fully automated system that utilizes two CCD cameras and a polarizing beam splitter to
create a polarization camera capable of sensing the polarization of reflected light from …

FIG. 1 Mitotic spindle isolated from fertilized sea urchin egg and imaged with the Pol-Scope

The polarization phase shift (PPS) has emerged as an important analytical tool in optical
metrology. The present study utilizes the concept of controlling the polarization phase in …

To understand polarization effects in image formation for critical structures, a model based
on the pupil approach and the Fourier modal method is presented for numerical simulation …

A new type of imaging polarimeter for fast and orientation independent measurement of
birefringent fine structures is proposed. The new imaging polarimeter was implemented as a …

The exploitation of polarization information in the field of computer vision has become
progressively more popular during the last few decades. This is primarily due to (1) the fact …
