Measurements of the small tilt-angle variation of an object surface using moire interferometry and digital image
Abstract:
A method of measuring the small tilt-angle variation of an object surface by using moire interferometry based on the Talbot effect and a moire technique is described. The object surface is placed in the middle of a set of two gratings. A monochromatic plane wave illuminates the first grating producing the magnified Talbot image. The moire fringe is generated by superimposing this Talbot image on the second grating. The inclination angle of the moire fringes is ameasure of the tilt angle of the object surface. The inclination angles are measured with a digital image processor.

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...
