Abstract (en)
[origin: WO02086468A1] Imaging apparatus (10) and method which uses change of polarization state of light beam (20) passed through a total internal reflection structure (14) by a single reflection at a TIR surface (39) in which a specimen (42) is placed in the evanescent field associated with the total internal reflection of the light beam, the specimen (42) being the subject of biological, chemical or genetic investigation.
