Abstract:
We demonstrate a full Stokes polarization imaging system based on compressed sampling and single photon counting. The control and synchronization counting module based on field-programmable gate array is specially developed to control the rotation stage for polarization imaging at different directions. Additionally, it can load the binary random matrix into a digital micro-mirror device controller for each measurement and count the single photon pulse output from the photon counting photomultiplier tube simultaneously. The system can realize high-sensitivity single photon compressive imaging of the target under different polarization directions. On this basis, the high-quality Stokes parameter images and the angle of the linear polarization image can be obtained. The experimental results show that the polarization information can be reconstructed at a very low sampling ratio.

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...

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
