Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8607148A1] An apparatus and method for forming an image based on the interactions of polarized electromagnetic radiation with the specimen being imaged. The image formed by the apparatus is the difference of two images of the specimen (18, 40, 86) each made with electromagnetic radiation having a different polarization. The choice of wave length and polarization will depend on the structure of compounds to be accentuated in the image. The present invention may be operated in any of four modes selected by choosing the geometric relationship between the image forming means (28, 46, 88) and the polarized electromagnetic radiation source (30, 44, 82), the wavelength of polarized electromagnetic radiation produced by the polarized electromagnetic radiation source (30, 44, 82) relative to the wavelength detected by the image forming means (28, 46, 88), and the timing of the detection of the electromagnetic radiation relative to the timing of the emission of the polarized electromagnetic radiation by the polarized electromagnetic radiation source (30, 44, 82).
