Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview

Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to study the composition of materials. It is widely employed in chemistry, materials science, forensic science, and other fields where sample characterization is required. ATR has several advantages over traditional transmission IR spectroscopy, including the requirement of little to no sample preparation and the ability to analyze a wide range of samples.
The ATR process begins by directing a beam...

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

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...

Main Methods:

Integration of two birefringent crystals and a binary coded aperture for data encoding.
Utilizing a compressive sampling strategy on a 2D detector array.
Reconstruction of the 4D data cube using a total variation prior algorithm.

Main Results:

Successful encoding of spatial, spectral, and polarization data into a single 2D measurement.
Reconstruction of a 4D data cube with dimensions of 1500x1240 pixels, 19 wavelength channels (400-680 nm), and two Stokes parameters.
Demonstration of efficient data acquisition and reconstruction for polarization spectral imaging.

Conclusions:

The developed single-shot polarization spectral imager provides an efficient method for capturing complex 4D data.
