Multiplexing-based polarization sensitive en-face optical coherence tomography
Abstract:
We present a time-domain polarization-sensitive (PS) optical coherence tomography configuration operating at 830 nm, equipped with multichannel acousto-optic deflectors and single photodetectors. The system is used to simultaneously acquire interference information from multiple PS channels and to enable measurement and imaging of backscattered intensity to create both PS and polarization insensitive images. Our approach enables multiple channel imaging without need to divide the object signal. Here, we employ our system in order to demonstrate PS imaging of a thermally damaged muscle tissue.

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...
