Abstract
A laser scanning differential interference contrast microscope using a differential detection method is proposed. This microscope permits observers to control the differential image contrast with a simple operation. Utilizing this function, the observers are capable of obtaining the optimized differential image whose contrast is most favorable for observation. A simple theoretical analysis and experimental considerations are described.
