How to Create and Use Binocular Rivalry

Abstract:
The effect of Mylar foil thickness on the appearance of ionography images has been investigated. Approximate expressions for the depletion width of strips and halfplanes of charge are given with supporting experimental measurements. In microdensitometer traces of charged strips and halfplanes the density is shown to be proportional to the vertical field profile of the charge pattern near the Mylar. This work suggests a simple means of altering edge contrast for ionography by using different thicknesses of Mylar. Ionography images of a hand phantom illustrate this effect.

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...
