摘要
The design and theory of operation of a new form of near field polarizing optical microscope are presented. The system uses electro-optic premodulation of light to generate two simultaneous complementary images of samples. This affords the capability to obtain a final output signal which is a linear representation of the sample birefringence, and is independent of the sample transmissivity/reflectivity. A number of images are presented.
