Composite low-coherence interferometer for imaging of immersed tissue with high accuracy
Imaging and measurement of the surface profile of an object with high resolution has become essential in both of biological research and industry application. Many samples under investigation such as cultured cells are usually immersed in liquid. Although the techniques such as scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope can provide imaging or measurement of the surface profile with nanometer resolution, it is difficult for them to image an immersed object with their typical types. Recently, we have proposed and demonstrated a new technique based on composite interferometer which can perform imaging and measurement of the surface profile of an ...
