A circular grating is photographed through a phase object which deforms the image of the grating lines. By superimposing these deformed lines with a master grating on photographic film, mpire'' patterns are observed. These patterns are interpreted as fringes of constant radial derivative.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
