title: Versatile optical microscopy using a reconfigurable hemispherical digital condenser.
abstract: We present a computer-controlled hemispherical digital condenser and demonstrate that a single device can be used to implement a variety of both well established and novel optical microscopy techniques. We verified the condenser capabilities by imaging fabricated periodic patterned structures and biological samples.
