Projection moire fringe pattern prediction using the optical transfer function
Applied Optics
|August 12, 2010
Abstract:
Theoretical treatment of the projection moire fringe pattern (PMFP) based on the optical transfer function is presented. Contrast is used as a criterion for the quality of the PMFP. In the case of a diffraction-limited system and variable focusing error, theoretical results are compared to measured values.

02:18Interference and Diffraction
Interference is a characteristic phenomenon exhibited by waves. When two electromagnetic waves interact with their peaks and troughs coinciding, a resulting wave with enhanced amplitude is produced. This is known as constructive interference. In this case, the two waves interacting are in phase with each other.
01:26Phase 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...
