Optical configuration in speckle shear interferometry for slope change contouring with a twofold increase in
Applied Optics
|February 15, 2008
Abstract:
We present a novel optical configuration that yields a fringe pattern that represents the slope changes of a three-dimensional object with a twofold increase in sensitivity. The method offers controllable sensitivity over a wide range. We accomplish it by modifying the in-plane displacement sensitive configuration of speckle interferometry. The detailed theory and the experimental results are presented with a brief discussion on the limiting aspects of the configuration.

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

01:16Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy
Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...
