Abstract
The incorporation of polarization control on the illumination beam in a laser scanning confocal microscope allows extraction of the orientational information of submicroscopic features of a sample being studied. In this paper, we present the implementation of an optical arrangement that generates homogeneous as well as non-homogeneous user define polarization profiles over the cross-sectional area of a laser beam. A confocal system is built with this optical arrangement to obtain images of the same target with different polarized illumination beams such that there is considerable reduction in the time gap between two consecutive illuminations of each location of the sample.
