Laser illuminated nano-second microscope
Abstract
In high magnification systems, laser speckle limits the resolution of laser illuminated targets. A broad bandwidth laser illuminator which substantially reduces the speckle was developed. This laser was incorporated with intensified camera technology and suitable lensing to provide a microscope system with good resolution over a 75-mm diameter image. The microscope currently has a 2-ns exposure onto film with magnification adjustable between 5X and 50X.
