Nomarski scattering

Hi everyone,

 

I just got in a request to measure Nomarski scattering to compare the roughnesss of some gold-coated surface specimens.  I have a Zeiss LSM 510 equipped with DIC optics.  Does anyone know of a good ref that I can follow to do this kind of analysis (or if this can even be done without specialized equipment)? 

 

Thanks

Hi Alex:

A comprehensive reference is

Whitehouse, D. 2002. Surfaces and their measurement. Hermes Penton, London.

There is also a paper

Kagalwala, F. & Kanade, T. (2003) Reconstructing specimens using DIC microscopic images. IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part B: Cybernetics, 33, 728 - 737.

Good luck.

Mike

This subject has been raised before, but we are again having trouble finding
these. More correctly, we are having trouble find them with #1.5 thickness.
It seems that Eppendorf no longer makes them, and Matek now uses #2 thickness.
Another supplier seems to spec a very wide thickness tolerance, and at $4 per
slip, we dont want to have to measure them and discard the ones that are too
thick. Any pointers to your favorite #1.5 gridded cover-glass supplier would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
