A large-depth-of-field projected fringe profilometry using supercontinuum light illumination
Abstract:
In this paper, a large-depth-of-field projected fringe profilometry using a supercontinuum light source generated by launching femto second laser pulses into a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber is presented. Since the supercontinuum light has high spatial coherence and a broad spectral range (from UV to near infrared), a high power (hundreds of mW) point white light source can be employed to generate modulated fringe patterns, which offers following major advantages: (1) large-depth-of-field, (2) ease of calibration, and (3) little speckle noise (a major problem for the laser system). Thus, a highly accurate, large-depth-of-field projected fringe profilometer can be realized. Both the theoretical description and experimental demonstration are provided.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
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...
