Abstract: A differential interference microscope apparatus comprises a light source (1), a condenser optical system (2,3,6) for condensing beams of light from the light source and illuminating an object with the beams of light, an objective optical system (8) for converging the beams of light from the illuminated object and forming an image (11) of the object, a pick-up device (12) for photoelectrically detecting the image of the object, and a contrast enhancement (13) circuit for enhancing a contrast of the image on the basis of an output signal of the image of the object photoelectrically detected by the pick-up device (12). A first polarizing element (4) and a first birefringent element (5) are disposed sequentially from the side of the light source in an optical path between the light source and the object. The first polarizing element (4) changes the beams of light from the light source into predetermined beams of polarized light. The first birefringent element (5) separates the polarized light into an ordinary ray and an extraordinary ray. A second birefringent element (9) and a second polarizing element (10) are disposed sequentially from the side of the object in an optical path between the object and the image. The second birefringent element (9) guides the two light beams from the object onto the same optical path. The second polarizing element (10) causes the two light beams guided onto the same optical path to interfere with each other. The shear quantity S between the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray satisfies the following condition: 
δ / 20 ≦ S < δ / 2 
 where δ is the resolving power of the objective optical system.

Abstract: A cartridge of wound-up photographic film has an elongate housing within which the film is received, the housing having an outlet through which the film leader projects. In order to insert the cartridge of film into a cylindrical container it is necessary to wrap the film leader around the housing of the cartridge. A method of inserting the cartridge (1) into the container (6) involves conveying the cartridge (1) into the open end (7) of the container (6) whilst simultaneously rotating the cartridge (1) about its longitudinal axis (5) so that the film leader (4) is brought into engagement with the rim of the open end (7) of the container (6) whilst it is rotating. This causes the film leader (4) automatically to be wrapped around the housing (2) of the cartridge (1) to permit the ready insertion of the cartridge (1) and the film leader (4) into the container (6). An apparatus for automatically performing the function of inserting the cartridge (1) into the container (6) using this method is also described.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting the passage of superposed sheets, e.g. deposited currency notes, along a feed path includes a mechanism which has a pair of cooperating rollers (42,44) and which is arranged to generate an output voltage whose magnitude varies in response to the passage of an item (single or multiple sheet) between the rollers (42,44). Samples of this output voltage are taken during one complete revolution of one of the rollers (42,44). These samples are processed to generate a value representative of the cross-sectional area of said item. In order to take account of sheets of different sizes, a further value is generated representative of the dimension of said item parallel to its direction of feed. The value representing said cross-sectional area is divided by this further value in order to derive a value which represents the average thickness of said item and which enables a determination to be made as to whether said item is a single or multiple sheet.
