20100245822 | DIFFERENTIAL POLARIZATION MEASURING EXTENSION UNIT FOR A LASER-SCANNING MICROSCOPE - The invention relates to a differential polarizing laser-scanning microscope (DP LSM) for determining differential polarization quantities of a material, comprising a laser light source (L) for scanning the sample and illuminating it with a coherent and monochromatic light, a microscope unit (ME) with a sample holder for providing a preselected optical magnification and imaging and a polarization state setting unit (PAA) positioned in the illuminating beam path (between the light source and the sample holder). The microscope is further provided with detectors (D | 09-30-2010 |
