Abstract: An electrostatic analyzer includes a cylindrical body having an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder that are coaxial with one another along a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body. An inner cylindrical electrode is positioned on an exterior face of the inner cylinder. An outer cylindrical electrode is positioned on an interior face of the outer cylinder. A first azimuthal electrode positioned on a face of a first azimuthal plane that passes through the longitudinal axis. A second azimuthal electrode is positioned on a face of a second azimuthal plane that passes through the longitudinal axis. A first end electrode is positioned on a first end face of the cylindrical body. A second end electrode is positioned on a second end face of the cylindrical body.

Abstract: In one embodiment, there is provided method of imaging a biological sample. The method includes providing, by a polarizing source assembly, a source polarized coherent electromagnetic beam to the biological sample. The method further includes capturing, by a detector assembly, an intermediate electromagnetic beam from the biological sample. The intermediate electromagnetic beam is related to the source polarized coherent electromagnetic beam and to an optical anisotropic property of the biological sample. The method further includes providing, by the detector assembly, an output electrical signal corresponding to an output electromagnetic beam. The output electromagnetic beam is related to the intermediate electromagnetic beam. The method further includes generating, by an imaging circuitry, an image of at least a portion of the biological sample based, at least in part, on the output electrical signal.
