Summary

Researchers applied polarization-resolved dual-view digital holography to image microplastic particles, producing four simultaneous intensity measurements across different polarization channels. The technique enabled enhanced discrimination of microplastic particles from other environmental particles based on their polarization scattering signatures. The study demonstrates a promising optical imaging approach for improving automated microplastic detection and identification in environmental samples.

Dual-view digital holography is used to image samples of microplastics. The detection is polarization-resolved and produces, in total, four different intensities, one in each polarization direction ...
