Phase contrast imaging paper accepted for Physical Review Letters
Our work on the theory of phase contrast imaging will appear in Physical Review Letters this week.
http://journals.aps.
The theory was developed by Ebube Ilo-Okeke, and treats for the first time phase contrast imaging at the single shot level. Past works treated the problem as a continuous measurement.
One interesting statistic: according to searching the APS database, this is the first paper in PRL since 1986 with a Nigerian affiliation. The last one prior to our work was

Above: Schematic of the phase contrast imaging setup. Light illuminates the BEC from the left and produces a phase shift in the light. This is interfered with light that does not go through the BEC, to produce the measurement result.
