We present a novel and inexpensive Stokes imaging spectropolarimeter based on the Snapshot Hyperspectral Imaging Fourier Transform (SHIFT) spectrometer. A rotating quarter wave plate and stationary linear polarizer placed in front of the SHIFT spectrometer enables us to reconstruct an object’s spectra and Stokes parameters in the visible spectrum. Measurements are stored in the form of four-dimensional (4D) Stokes datacubes containing the object’s spatial, spectral, and polarization information. We discuss calibration methods, review design considerations, and present preliminary results from proof-of-concept experiments.
The scanning speed for conventional confocal fluorescence imaging systems is limited due to several factors. To improve the speed of scanning, we develop an array confocal fluorescence microscope (ACFM) that can image large 3D volumes faster than conventional confocal microscopes over a large field of view (FOV). This paper will discuss the design and evaluation of the array confocal fluorescence microscope.
