Abstract
A laser scanning differential interference contrast microscope using a differential detection method is proposed. This microscope permits ob servers to control the differential image contrast with a simple opera tion. Utilizing this function, the observers are capable of obtaining the-optimized differential image whose contrast is most favorable for observation. A simple theoretical analysis and experimental considerat ions are described. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
