Applied Nanophotonics, Liquid Crystals and Biomedical Optics

A system microscopy system and method that enable obtaining high resolution 3D images in a single shot are presented. The system is an ultra-high speed, real time multi wavelength phase shift interference microscopy system that uses three synchronized color CCD cameras. Each CCD is equipped with a precision achromatic phase mask which in turn allows obtaining π/2 phase shifted signals in three different wavelengths simultaneously.
