摘要：
We consider the form of the optical field in the exit pupil of a high numerical aperture microscope objective when the lens is focussed onto an isotropic thin film specimen. The form of the optical field is particularly sensitive to specimen properties and is usually not circularly symmetric. We propose and demonstrate a polarisation difference imaging mode which takes advantage of this asymmetry to provide images of greatly enhanced contrast.
