Optimal sampled phase-only hologram (OSPOH)
Abstract:
A sampled phase-only hologram (SPOH) is the phase component of the hologram of an object image with pixels being sampled with a periodic grid-cross pattern. The reconstructed image of a SPOH is a sparse image with abundant empty voids and degradation in sharpness and contrast. In this paper we proposed a method based on a new sampling scheme, together with stochastic binary search (SBS), to obtain an optimal sampling lattice that can be applied to generate phase-only holograms with enhanced reconstructed image. Experimental results show that with our proposed method, the fidelity and quality of the reconstructed image are increased.

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...
