We introduce a wide field hyperspectral microscope using the Fourier-transform approach. The interferometer is based on the Translating-Wedge-Based Identical Pulses eNcoding System (TWINS) [Opt. Lett. 37, 3027 (2012)], a common-path birefringent interferometer which combines compactness, intrinsic interferometric delay precision, long-term stability and insensitivity to vibrations. We describe three different implementations of our system: two prototypes designed to test different optical schemes and an add-on for a commercial microscope. We show high-quality spectral microscopy of the fluorescence from stained cells and powders of inorganic pigments, demonstrating that the device is suited to biology and materials science. We demonstrate the acquisition of a 1Mpixel hyperspectral image in 75 seconds in the spectral range from 400 to 1100 nm. We also introduce an acquisition method which synthesizes a tunable spectral filter, providing band-passed images by the measurement of only two maps.

A device based on a three-block Fresnel zone plate interferometer is proposed for hard X-ray phase-contrast imaging. The device combines a low requirement for the coherence of the initial radiation (the interferometer operates in the amplitude divisi
on mode) with an optical magnification of the image. A numerical simulation of the image formation is carried out, taking into account the limited source-interferometer distance, the size and spectral width of the X-ray source. The calculations show that the proposed set-up can be used as a phase-contrast microscope using laboratory hard X-ray sources.
The OpenFlexure Microscope is a 3D printed, low-cost microscope capable of automated image acquisition through the use of a motorised translation stage and a Raspberry Pi imaging system. This automation has applications in research and healthcare, in
cluding in supporting the diagnosis of malaria in low resource settings. The plasmodium parasites which cause malaria require high magnification imaging, which has a shallow depth of field, necessitating the development of an accurate and precise autofocus procedure. We present methods of identifying the focal plane of the microscope, and procedures for reliably acquiring a stack of focused images on a system affected by backlash and drift. We also present and assess a method to verify the success of autofocus during the scan. The speed, reliability and precision of each method is evaluated, and the limitations discussed in terms of the end users requirements.
Imaging and manipulating individual atoms with submicrometer separation can be instrumental for quantum simulation of condensed matter Hamiltonians and quantum computation with neutral atoms. Quantum gas microscope experiments in most cases rely on q
uite costly solutions. Here we present an open-source design of a microscope objective for atomic strontium consisting solely of off-the-shelf lenses that is diffraction-limited for 461${,}$nm light. A prototype built with a simple stacking design is measured to have a resolution of 0.63(4)${,mu}$m, which is in agreement with the predicted value. This performance, together with the near diffraction-limited performance for 532${,}$nm light makes this design useful for both quantum gas microscopes and optical tweezer experiments with strontium. Our microscope can easily be adapted to experiments with other atomic species such as erbium, ytterbium, and dysprosium, as well as Rydberg experiments with rubidium.
High temporal stability is the primary requirement of any quantitative phase microscope (QPM) systems for the early stage detection of various human related diseases. The high temporal stability of the system provides accurate measurement of membrane
fluctuations of the biological cells, which can be good indicator of various diseases. We developed a single element highly stable common-path QPM system to obtain temporally stable holograms of the biological specimens. With the proposed system, the temporal stability is obtained ~ 15 mrad without using any vibration isolation table. The capability of the proposed system is demonstrated on USAF resolution chart, polystyrene spheres (dia. 4.5 micron) and human red blood cells (RBCs). The membrane fluctuation of healthy human RBCs is further successfully measured and found to be equal to 63 nm. Contrary to its counterparts, present system offers energy efficient, cost effective and simple way of generating object and reference beam for the development of common-path QPM.
We build a resonant fiber optic gyro based on Kagome hollow-core fiber. A semi-bulk cavity architecture based on a 18-m-long Kagome fiber permits to achieve a cavity finesse of 23 with a resonance linewidth of 700 kHz. An optimized Pound-Drever-Hall
servo-locking scheme is used to probe the cavity in reflection. Closed-loop operation of the gyroscope permits to reach an angular random walk as small as 0.004$^circ/sqrt{mathrm{h}}$ and a bias stability of 0.45$^circ$/h over 0.5 s of integration time.
