Fig 1. Symmetry properties of the TCC at different illumination configurations.

Fig 1

In (a) the TCC at p = q = 0 gives the partially coherent transfer function for a brightfield and in (b) for a DPC system (b). The green line shows the axis of symmetry. The DPC setup offers odd symmetry which enables phase-contrast.
