Reciprocity and equivalence in scanning microscopes

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The application of the principle of reciprocity and methods of Fourier optics to imaging in conventional and scanning microscopes is discussed. It is concluded that there is identical even for objects thick enough for multiple scattering to occur, provided that there is no inelastic scattering or birefringence present.
