Definition of Absorption, Diffraction, and Phase objects

What Refractive index means

By: plintilh

Describing how the velocity of light varies with the medium.

Phase objects - continued

By: plintilh

Describes how transparent objects may only retard light without diffracting it

Transform - diffraction - transform - image

By: plintilh

Spatial information in the rear focal plane.

Zero order has no information

By: plintilh

Spatial information is encoded in the diffracted rays.

Spatial deteil vs acceptance angle

By: plintilh

Acceptance angle of objective must be wide enough to collect at least first order diffracted rays

See back focal plane using telescope

By: plintilh

The rear focal plane of the objective can be observed using a telescope insert into the eyepiece tube.

Diffraction pattern in the transform plane

By: plintilh

Demonstration of diffraction patterns in a test object - (Diatom test slide).
