Improved synthetic discriminant function performance using Fresnel lens-encoded binary phase-only filters
Applied Optics
|June 23, 2010
Abstract:
Synthetic discriminant functions (SDFs) made using Fresnel lens-encoded binary phase-only filters are shown to yield increased performance relative to SDFs constructed using conventional binary phase-only filters. We present both computer simulations and experimental results in which these SDFs are written onto the magnetooptic spatial light modulator.

Fast Fourier Transform
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a computational algorithm designed to compute the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) efficiently. By breaking down the calculations into smaller, manageable sections, the FFT significantly reduces the computational complexity involved. Direct computation of an N-point DFT requires N2 complex multiplications, whereas the FFT algorithm needs only (N/2)log2N multiplications, offering a much faster performance.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
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...
