6 Object CCD Imaging system Born approximation Field: Intensity: i E e 1i ballistic scattered 2 2 I 1i 1 small What if ballistic field is phaseshifted relative to scattered field? I i i not so small

7 Object CCD x Imaging system x Rule of thumb: x (i.e. need high NA to see small structures)

8 q x x spatial frequency (sample) q k x wave-number (light) 2 k q x (i.e. need high NA to see high spatial frequencies)

14 Problem! Illumination must be spatially coherent Object Phase plate Köhler illumination doesn t work!

15 Köhler illumination Solution: Pinhole Incoherent (spatially random phases) Spatially coherent Object Phase plate This solution is not ideal because illumination power is weak

16 Alternative solution: Annular illumination Object Spatially coherent (sort of) Advantages of annular illumination: More illumination throughput Fewer backreflections from optics Better resolution (though difficult to interpret) Annular phase-plate

17 Alternative solution: Phase contrast condenser Phase contrast objective Annular illumination Spatially coherent (sort of) Advantages of annular illumination: More illumination throughput Fewer backreflections from optics Better resolution (though difficult to interpret) Annular phase-plate
