Snapshot full Stokes camera by RGB polarization camera
AI summary Read the abstract
This optics paper presents a full-color polarization camera system that can capture the polarization state of light across multiple wavelengths simultaneously. The technology is demonstrated for biological imaging and is noted as applicable to microplastics detection using light polarization properties.
We propose a RGB full- Stokes video imager by two RGB microgrid polarization cameras with linear micro-polarizer array which is aligned to 0, 45, 90 and 135° of azimuthal direction. It is mainly applied to calibrate retarder and non-polarizing beam splitter with wavelength dependence. A presentation highlights applying for a bio-polarization imager to demonstrate a bio-imaging using a differential interferometric microscope, microplastics and polarization properties of incents .

In-vivo measurement of ingested microplastics using spectroscopic and polarization-based full-Stokes microscopy
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers measured the optical property called birefringence in five types of plastic particles (polystyrene, PET, LDPE, PMMA, and polypropylene) using a specialized polarization camera. Each plastic type showed a distinct birefringence signature, suggesting this technique could be used to identify and count different types of microplastics in biological tissue samples.
