Microscope Interference Patterns¶

Note

For this section of the guide, we will be disabling all other effects in order to clearly show each option.

The Virtual Microscope supports a few configuration options regarding the addition of interference patterns to generated images.

Parameter	Description
`EnableInterferencePattern`	Enable or disable the generation of interference patterns
`InterferencePatternXScale_um`	Set the number of lines per unit of x distance
`InterferencePatternAmplitude`	Set the color variation from interference patterns (larger means brighter peaks and darker valleys)
`InterferencePatternBias`	Set the intensity bias for interference patterns, 0 indicates do not change, positive means brighter, negative darker
`InterferencePatternWobbleFrequency`	Set the number of y-axis wobbles per unit of y distance
`InterferencePatternYAxisWobbleIntensity`	Set the size of the y-axis wobbles
`InterferencePatternStrengthVariation`	Set the amount that the intensity of interference patterns is randomized image-to-image
`InterferencePatternZOffsetShift`	Enable or disable randomization of patterns between layers

Example

EnableInterferencePatternInterferencePatternXScale_umInterferencePatternAmplitudeInterferencePatternBias

Enable or disable the generation of interference patterns.

Setting EnableInterferencePattern to False results in the following image:

Default Render Example

EMConfig.EnableInterferencePattern = False

Likewise, setting it to True will result in the following image: Default Render Example

EMConfig.EnableInterferencePattern = True

The X Scale determines how frequent the vertical lines from the interference pattern are.

Setting it to 40 will result in the following image: Default Render Example

EMConfig.InterferencePatternXScale_um = 40

Likewise, setting it to 10 will result in the following image: Default Render Example

EMConfig.InterferencePatternXScale_um = 10

This sets amount that the colors vary from peak to valley.

Setting it to 25 will result in the following image: Default Render Example

EMConfig.InterferencePatternAmplitude = 25

Likewise, setting it to 0 will result in the following image: Default Render Example

EMConfig.InterferencePatternAmplitude = 6

Brightens or darkens the interference pattern.

Setting it to -40 will result in the following image: Default Render Example

EMConfig.InterferencePatternBias = -40

Likewise, setting it to 40 will result in the following image: Default Render Example

EMConfig.InterferencePatternBias = 40
