Abstract

The Mirau interference microscope features a very compact interferometer incorporated in a single microscope objective. We describe a simple modification that results in the exiting beams being orthogonally polarized. This modification makes it possible to introduce achromatic phase shifts in the two beams, facilitating the use of the Mirau interferometer for white-light phase-shifting interference microscopy.
