Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) microscope includes various insertable components that facilitate multiple imaging and measurement capabilities. These capabilities include Nomarski imaging, polarized light imaging, quantitative differential interference contrast (q-DIC) imaging, motorized polarized light imaging, phase-shifting interferometry (PSI), and vertical-scanning interferometry (VSI).

Claim (Index 29):
A method of repositioning a sample to minimize tilt, the method comprising:\n turning on a light source of a 3D microscope, the light source passing through a pin-hole; transforming the 3D microscope into an autocollimator; when an image of the pin-hole falls inside a field of view, adjusting a tip/tilt mechanism of a stage of the 3D microscope so that the pin-hole image coincides with a pre-defined circle on an otherwise pitch dark field of view, thereby completing alignment; when the image of the pin-hole falls outside the field of view, performing a one-pass 3D imaging acquisition process and adjustment of the stage based on the process to bring the image of the pin-hole into the field of view, then adjusting the tip/tilt mechanism of the stage of the 3D microscope so that the pin-hole image coincides with the pre-defined circle on the otherwise pitch dark field of view, thereby completing alignment.
