A long-standing problem in polarized light microscopy has been the inability, due to
polarization aberrations, to achieve simultaneously high spatial resolution and high contrast …

In the polarizing microscope set for extinction, only that image whose polarization has been
altered is available to form an image. The lenses themselves introduce such an alternation …

A long-standing problem in polarized light microscopy has been to achieve simultaneously
high spatial resolution and high contrast. Rotation of the plane of polarization of light at …

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

Polarized light microscopy (PLM) is a technique which employs the use of polarizing filters to
obtain substantial optical property information about the material which is being observed …

This paper considers the general properties of polarising microscopes and, in particular,
light polarisation changes produced by high aperture lenses. A method is suggested for …

We describe a simple modification to a confocal microscope, which analyses the state of
polarization of light emerging from the specimen so as to permit quantitative polarized light …

[57] ABSTRACT A method for determining polarization properties of light from an object uses
a detector for detecting the intensity of light incident thereon. A pair of variable retarders are …

Radially polarized illumination produces, in combination with annular pupil filtering, the
sharpest focal spot. However, the enhanced sidelobes produce an effective deterioration of …

The following method is proposed for the analysis of the elliptically polarized light leaving a
transparent, birefringent and dichroic specimen (in which the direction of maximum …
