Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy01:26

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

15.0K
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...

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes

1.0K
Consider a component AB undergoing a linear motion. Along with a linear motion, point B also rotates around point A. To comprehend this complex movement, position vectors for both points A and B are established using a stationary reference frame.
However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it...

Curvilinear Motion: Rectangular Components

1.5K
Curvilinear motion characterizes the movement of a particle or object along a curved path, notably evident when envisioning a car navigating a winding road. If the car starts at point A, its position vector is established within a fixed frame of reference, where the ratio of the position vector to its magnitude signifies the unit vector pointing in the position vector's direction.
As the car advances, its position evolves over time. Quantifying the car's velocity involves computing the...

Phase Changes

5.6K
Phase transitions play an important theoretical and practical role in the study of heat flow. In melting or fusion, a solid turns into a liquid; the opposite process is freezing. In evaporation, a liquid turns into a gas; the opposite process is condensation.
A substance melts or freezes at a temperature called its melting point and boils or condenses at its boiling point. These temperatures depend on pressure. High pressure favors the denser form of the substance, so typically, high pressure...

Time and frequency -Domain Interpretation of Phase-lead Control

499
Phase-lead controllers are commonly used in various control systems to enhance response speed and stability. Adjusting the brightness on a television screen offers a practical example of phase-lead control. When contrast is enhanced, a phase-lead controller is employed. Mathematically, phase-lead control is identified when the first parameter is smaller than the second.
The design of phase-lead control involves the strategic placement of poles and zeros to balance steady-state error and system...

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes - Acceleration

967
Consider a component AB undergoing a linear motion. Along with a linear motion, point B also rotates around point A. To comprehend this complex movement, position vectors for both points A and B are established using a stationary reference frame. The absolute velocity of point B is determined by adding the absolute velocity of point A, the relative velocity of point B in the rotating frame, and the effects caused by the angular velocity within the rotating frame.
Time differentiation is...

Area of Science:

  • Image Processing
  • Optical Engineering
  • Remote Sensing

Background:

  • Flat-fielding is critical for radiometric calibration in imaging systems.
  • Traditional flat-field acquisition requires a uniform illumination source, often impractical in remote sensing.
  • Variations in detector gain and optical illumination necessitate accurate flat-field correction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for extracting effective flat-field images without a uniform reference surface.
  • To enable flat-field correction in scenarios where traditional methods are not feasible, such as remote sensing.
  • To provide a robust technique for radiometric calibration using scene-based data.

Main Methods:

  • A phase-correlation method was developed for extracting flat-field information.
  • Sub-pixel phase correlation image registration was employed to align sequences of displaced images.
  • The method estimates the static scene, removes it, and derives an average flat-field from the resulting misaligned images.

Main Results:

  • An effective flat-field image can be extracted from sequences of scene-based displaced images.
  • The phase-correlation technique successfully compensates for gain variations and unequal illumination.
  • The developed method provides a viable alternative for flat-fielding in challenging imaging environments.

Conclusions:

  • The phase-correlation method offers a practical solution for flat-field image processing in remote sensing and similar applications.
  • This approach enhances the quality and radiometric calibration of images acquired without traditional flat-field references.
  • The technique advances the capabilities of image processing for scientific and technical imaging.
