SIMULTANEOUS POLARIZED LIGHT VIEWING/IMAGING THROUGH A SPLIT POLARIZER

Abstract: described herein relates to a system and method of filtering a polarized light through at least a polarization orientation for simultaneous viewing. the polarizing light filter apparatus may comprise at least one light source and/or a split polarizer configured to provide the polarization orientation of incident light. light source may be configured to emit the incident light toward a structure, such that the incident light may be reflected off the structure through the split polarizing comprising a first polarization orientation (e.g., parallel) and/or a second polarizing orientation (e.g., cross). the reflected light may travel through the split polarizer, providing a simultaneous view of the first polarization orientation and/or the second polarization orientation, in real-time. moreover, the simultaneous view of the polarized light may allow for a more detailed visual experience as well as optimize the ability to determine which orientation of light best illuminates a feature of interest.
