Imaging of phase contrast microscopes under partially coherent illumination
Effects of either spatially or temporally partial coherence on the image quality of a microscope are considered in this paper. Calculation results indicate that under partially coherent illumination the image contrast will be lower than that under coherent illumination, but it can be improved by utilizing a carefully designed light source,a special spatial filter.
