Polarized light microscopy provides unique opportunities for analyzing the molecular order
in man-made and natural materials, including biological structures inside living cells …

Polarized light microscopy provides unique opportunities for analyzing the molecular order
in heterogeneous systems, such as living cells and tissues, without using exogenous dyes …

Interference of two combined white light beams produces Newton colors if one of the beams
is retarded relative to the other by from 400 nm to 2000 nm. In this case the corresponding …

Polarization light microscopes are powerful tools for probing molecular order and orientation
in birefringent materials. While a number of polarization microscopy techniques are …

Most of the imaging approaches discussed in this Lab Manual are based on the use of
fluorescent molecules and their detection inside living cells. Only a decade ago, live cell …

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 …

Birefringence, an inherent characteristic of optically anisotropic materials, is widely utilized
in various imaging applications ranging from material characterizations to clinical diagnosis …

We have developed an imaging system for 3D time-lapse polarization microscopy of living
biological samples. Polarization imaging reveals the position, alignment and orientation of …

We present geometric-phase microscopy allowing a multipurpose quantitative phase
imaging in which the ground-truth phase is restored by quantifying the phase retardance …

Polarised light imaging microscopy, with the addition of a liquid crystal (LC) phase retarder,
was used to determine the birefringence of silk fibres with high (∼ 1 μ m) spatial resolution …
