    Abstract: A method for imaging a sample, wherein the sample changes a polarization state of light as a function of position, wherein the method includes changing a polarization state of a purely polarized light of an incident light striking a micro-retarder array, thereby inducing a changed polarization state of the polarization state. The micro-retarder array is placed in a rear conjugate focal plane of a microscope. The method additionally includes projecting the changed polarization state of the polarization state into an object plane of the microscope containing the sample.

    Abstract: A method for inducing a covert misclassification performed on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the method includes identifying a target position. The method further includes creating a spectral perturbation tensor. The spectral perturbation tensor is configured to shift a projection of an initial spectrum towards the target position. Additionally, the method includes combining the spectral perturbation tensor to the initial spectrum. Further, the method includes classifying the combination of the spectral perturbation tensor and the initial spectrum with an established classifier, thereby designing the spectral perturbation tensor such that the combination is misclassified.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for efficiently mining multi-threshold measurements acquired using photon counting pixel-array detectors for spectral imaging and diffraction analyses. Images of X-ray intensity as a function of X-ray energy were recorded on a 6 megapixel X-ray photon counting array detector through linear fitting of the measured counts recorded as a function of counting threshold. An analytical model is disclosed for describing the probability density of detected voltage, utilizing fractional photon counting to account for edge/corner effects from voltage plumes that spread across multiple pixels. Three-parameter fits to the model were independently performed for each pixel in the array for X-ray scattering images acquired for 13.5 keV and 15.0 keV X-ray energies. From the established pixel responses, multi-threshold composite images produced from the sum of 13.5 keV and 15.0 keV data can be analytically separated to recover the monochromatic images through simple linear fitting.

    Abstract: A method for phase contrasting-correlation spectroscopy: converting an incident linearly polarized light into two polarized components (polarized divergent and convergent components, wherein the polarized divergent component is orthogonal to the polarized convergent component), focusing each of the polarized divergent component and the polarized convergent component into a focal plane, thereby producing two focus planes constituting a reference focus (RF) plane and a sample focus (SF) plane; placing a sample at the SF plane and ambient conditions of the sample at the RF plane, resulting in a phase shift between the two polarized components; reconstituting the two phase-shifted polarized components into a phase-shifted linearly polarized light; detecting the phase-shifted linearly polarized light; calculating phase and intensity of the sample from the phase-shifted linearly polarized light; establishing an autocorrelation of phase and intensity of the phase-shifted linearly polarized light; and generating correlograms of intensity and phase of the phase-shifted linearly polarized light.
