Entry term(s) interferometría microscópica
microinterferometría
Scope note: Ciencia y aplicación del microscopio de interferencia con transmisión de doble haz, en el que el haz de luz es escindido en dos. Un haz atraviesa a muestra mientras que el otro haz se refleja en un espejo antes de unirse e interferir con el otro. La diferencia de recorrido óptico observado entre los dos haces puede medirse y utilizarse para distinguir pequeñas diferencias en grosor y refracción de muestras transparentes sin teñir, como las células vivas en cultivo.

Scope note: The science and application of a double-beam transmission interference microscope in which the illuminating light beam is split into two paths. One beam passes through the specimen while the other beam reflects off a reference mirror before joining and interfering with the other. The observed optical path difference between the two beams can be measured and used to discriminate minute differences in thickness and refraction of non-stained transparent specimens, such as living cells in culture.
