  • Method and apparatus for determining the polarization properties of light emitted, reflected or transmitted by a material using a laser scanning microscope
    Patent number: 6856391
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining the polarization properties of light emitted, reflected or transmitted by a material using a laser scanning microscope with the tested material being illuminated point by point with a laser beam of known polarization state. According to the invention the light beam with a polarization state modified by the material or the light emitted by the material is being examined by measuring the intensity of two different polarization components of a selected light beam received from each point of said material essentially at the same time and assigning a signal obtained by processing the two intensity signals to a respective point of an image of said material.
