polarization scanning
1Conical scanning — is a system used in early radar units to improve their accuracy, as well as making it easier to steer the antenna properly to point at a target. Conical scanning is similar in concept to the earlier lobe switching concept used on some of the… …
2Near-field scanning optical microscope — Near field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM/SNOM) is a microscopic technique for nanostructure investigation that breaks the far field resolution limit by exploiting the properties of evanescent waves. This is done by placing the detector very… …
3Spin polarized scanning tunneling microscopy — (SP STM) is a specialized application of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) that can provide detailed information of magentic phenomena on the single atom scale additional to the atomic topology gained with STM. SP STM was developed by Roland… …
4Orthogonal polarization spectral imaging — is a method for imaging small blood vessels[1] in tissue like the nail bed or lip. It uses a light source of linearly polarized light with a wavelength of 550 nanometers, the isobestic point for hemoglobin, thus imaging the erythrocytes as they… …
