Optical scanning microscopy techniques based on the polarization control of the light have the capability of providing non invasive label-free contrast. By comparing the polarization states of the excitation light with its transformation after interaction with the sample, the full optical properties can be summarized in a single 4  4 Mueller...

We demonstrate a combination of polarization-resolved with fluorescence optical scanning microscopy that offers polarizing based information along with molecular view of sample as a versatile tool for imaging the chromatin organization.

Circular intensity differential scattering (CIDS) is based on the analysis of circular polarized light scattering and has been proven to be an interesting label-free microscopy technique sensitive to the chiral organization at the submicroscopic level. However, this approach averages the localized contrasts related to the sample polarimetric...

Mueller Matrix Microscopy exploits the generation and the analysis of polarized light to create label-free contrast in biological images. However, when dealing with Optical Scanning Microscopy, it is required a fast generation of the polarization states in order to obtain a good Signal-to-Noise Ratio at the pixel-dwell time rate. In this work,...

Some genetically based degenerative illnesses of retina cause total or partial blindness in ∼ 1∕4000 people totaling ∼ 1.5 million visually impaired. No cure is available and the only chance of improved vision is a visual prosthesis replacing the damaged retina. Some projects have delivered interesting but still not fully satisfactory results...
