Extractions: Reeds in zijn jeugd hield Zernike zich bezig met natuurkunde. In 1905 ging hij chemie studeren aan de universiteit te Amsterdam. Natuur- en wiskunde waren zijn bijvakken. In 1913 vroeg Kapteyn, professor astronomie aan de universiteit te Groningen hem om assistent te worden. Twee jaar later ging Zernike les geven aan deze universiteit in het vak natuurkunde. In 1920 werd hij gepromoveerd tot professor. Na 1930 ging hij zich met optiek bezighouden. Hij ontwikkelde de fase-contrastmicroscoop, waardoor levende wezens en organismen bestudeerd kunnen worden zonder kleuring. Deze uitvinding ontving niet meteen de belangstelling die ze verdiende. Zeiss, de beroemde fabriek van optische instrumenten, zag aanvankelijk niets in de microscoop. Tijdens de oorlog werd het belang van de microscoop door de Wehrmacht ingezien en werd de microscoop verder ontwikkeld en gefabriceerd. Na de oorlog werd de microscoop ook door andere firma's in productie genomen.

Some Roots of Modern Optical Systems I n the 20 th Century, revolutionary advances in optics began with the construction of the first laser in 1960 and has led to the rapid development of optical communication systems, imaging systems and holography, optical data storage and retrieval systems, and optical processing. Historically, however, optical communications systems date back to the optical semaphore systems developed by Chappe in France in 1791 and which were widely used in England and the United States during the 19 th Claude Chappe (1763 - 1805) was the grandson of a French baron and was raised for the church. He lost his religious sinecures as a result of the Revolution and along with his four (also now unemployed) brothers turned to working on a mechanical semaphore system for telegraphy. They obtained the support of the Revolutionary Convention and in 1794, after several design changes, succeeded, despite the violence of the Revolution, in establishing a chain of fifteen tower stations linking Paris and Lille, 120 miles to the north. France established a national system which was finally replaced by the electric telegraph beginning in 1846. In 1804, Claude Chappe, depressed by illness and by mounting claims of plagiarism (after all, the military had used semaphore systems) threw himself down the well at his hotel.

Extractions: Phase Contrast Microscope Information A common activity in high school biology is to observe cheek cells. To do this, one takes a flat toothpick and gently scrapes the inside of their cheek. They smear the specimen on a flat microscope slide and cover it with a cover slip. The cheek cells are epithelial cells and will be seen in large numbers. If you add a drop of iodine to the sample, the nuclei of the cells will become more visible. They will appear as small round dots inside the cell. In the first picture below, we see the cells as they would appear without iodine with a regular microscope. At the right, you see the same specimen using a phase contrast microscope (actually, we used the same microscope with different lenses). This clearly shows that, for some specimens, phase contrast will greatly improve your image quality. Image above with regular brightfield objectives.

Resource Center The search was still on in the 1930's to find a way of using both direct and diffracted light from all azimuths to yield good contrast images of unstained objects that do not absorb light. Research by Frits Zernike during this period uncovered phase and amplitude differences between zeroth order and deviated light that can be altered to produce favorable conditions for interference and contrast enhancement. Unstained specimens that do not absorb light are called phase objects because they slightly alter the phase of the light diffracted by the specimen, usually by retarding such light approximately 1/4 wavelength as compared to the undeviated direct light passing through or around the specimen unaffected. Unfortunately, our eyes as well as camera film, are unable to detect these phase differences. To reiterate, the human eye is sensitive only to the colors of the visible spectrum (variations in light frequency) or to differing levels of light intensity (variations in wave amplitude). In phase specimens, the direct zeroth order light passes through or around the specimen undeviated. However, the light diffracted by the specimen is not reduced in amplitude as it is in a light-absorbing object, but is slowed by the specimen because of the specimen's refractive index or thickness (or both). This diffracted light, lagging behind by approximately 1/4 wavelength, arrives at the image plane

Extractions: Industry View ... SPIE membership MEMBER NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Harvey M. Pollicove , 60, died suddenly on 25 January. Pollicove was an active member of SPIE. He had a vision and was selflessly devoted to it, and he made a real difference to the optics industry. Pollicove started his career in 1964 at Eastman Kodak Company as a lens grinder. While working at Kodak, he earned a BA in mathematics, but he never left manufacturing, eventually leading the teams that created the first high-volume manufacturing processes for both plastic and glass molded aspheric optics. His teams molded more than 200 million optics in just three years for key Kodak initiatives. Pollicove became an industry expert, benchmarking global optics capabilities for Kodak as technical markets manager for the Optical Products Division. From there, Pollicove went on to become the co-founder and director of the Center for Optics Manufacturing (COM) at the University of Rochester. Contributions to the "Harvey M. Pollicove Memorial Fund" can be sent to:

SPIE Donor Recognition Nominate a Colleague The optics and photonics communities continue to grow as we witness stronger activities in broader regions within Europe and North America, rapid growth in Asia-Pacific regions, and emerging movements in Latin America. These positive dynamics certainly add excitement as we prepare for SPIE's 50th anniversary celebration in 2005. In the last few years, SPIE has made a significant financial commitment to the Society's awards, scholarships, and grants. The Society has put great effort into awareness of the prestigious Fellowships, and sought to remedy the imbalances in geographic and technical fields that resulted from the proud history of the Society developing in the U.S. primarily from the "classical" optical design community. In 2003, an ad hoc Advisory Committee on Scholarships, Awards, and Sponsorships was formed to study and enhance the Society's awards system. In particular, we have begun to promote more endowments from industry, friends, and families to honor and celebrate the lifetime work and contributions of their colleagues and loved ones.

In their unmodified forms they look a lot alike, and various kluges invented to make them visually distinct have compounded the confusion. If your zero is centre-dotted and letter-O is not, or if letter-O looks almost rectangular but zero looks more like an American football stood on end (or the reverse), you're probably looking at a modern character display (though the dotted zero seems to have originated as an option on IBM 3270 controllers).
