[Methods for Reducing Laser Speckles to Achieve Even Illumination of the Microscope Field of View in Biophysical Studies].

The aim of this work was to compare different speckle reduction techniques. It was shown that the use of devices based on liquid crystals only leads to partial reduction of speckle contrast. In quantitative luminescent microscopy an application of the mechanical devices when a laser beam is spread within the field of view turned out to be more efficient. Laser speckle noise was virtually eliminated with the developed and manufactured mechanical device comprising a fiber optic ring light guide and the vibrator that permits movement of optical fiber ends towards the laser diode during measurements. The method developed for the analysis of microarrays was successfully applied to the problem of speckle reduction.
