Meadowlark Optics DOWNLOAD PRINCIPLES Dichroic Polarizers Meadowlark Optics offers an extensive line of dichroic polarizers made from both polymer and treated glass materials. Dichroic refers to the selective polarization absorption of the anisotropic polarizing material (Diattenuation). These polarizers are usually constructed by laminating a thin, stretched and dyed polymer film between two polished and antireflection-coated […]

Geometric-phase microscopy (GPM) uses changes in the phase of light passing through biological specimens to yield high-resolution and high-contrast images, instead of relying on the attenuation of light used conventionally. Polarization optics and a spatial light modulator generate spatially variant polarization states of light that interact with the sample, creating a relative phase shift between transmitted and reflected light waves. By analyzing the phase information, GPM can reveal details not visible with other microscopy techniques. GPM is an effective non-invasive tool for live cell and tissue studies, with potential to enhance biological systems knowledge.
