OPENPOLSCOPE

Our goal is to make polarized light microscopy accessible to a wide community of scientists and enthusiasts of polarized light imaging, for stimulating interdisciplinary collaborations in applying the technology and developing it further. In promoting this goal, we also provide services to colleagues who wish to implement and use the technology in their own work. Currently, the OpenPolScope supports three imaging modes: birefringence, polarized fluorescence, and diattenuation. The images below link to information on each mode... OpenPolScope.org provides access to technology developed at the Marine Biological Laboratory for polarized light imaging. This technology consists of software plugins and hardware components that are typically added to a standard, research grade microscope... The OPS Resource also provides OpenPolScope Services for installing, operating and maintaining OpenPolScope systems in laboratories around the world. In addition, we make arrangements for developing..
