Abstract: The article focuses on a study related to a new technique of retardation-modulated Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) microscope that can be used in quantitative measurement. It is stated that the method uses the edges of specimen and the DIC microscope can measure the distance between images. It is inferred that the phase distribution was combined whilst moving specimen and while maintaining the characteristics of RM-DIC, measurement fields were enlarged.
