The elements of the coherency matrix give the strength of the components of a Mueller matrix in the coherency basis. The Z-matrix (called the polarization-coupling matrix or state-generating matrix) represents a partial sum of the coherency expansion. For transmission through a deterministic medium, the coherency elements can be used directly...

There are basically two types of microscope, which we call conventional and scanning. The former type is a full-field imaging system. In the latter type, the object is illuminated with a probe beam, and a signal detected. We can generalize the probe to a patterned illumination. Similarly we can generalize the detection to a patterned detection....
