Summary By using the propagation of the light angular spectrum we develop an optical model for a defocused bright-field microscope. Transparent objects can be visualized in a defocused microscope, since defocusing introduces a phase difference between the diffracted and transmitted light, which is translated into contrast after interference in the image plane. For small defocusing the average contrast of a surface is proportional to its curvature. We were able to obtain theoretical expressions for the correlation functions for one and two fluctuating interfaces. In the next lecture we will see, by using these expressions, how to obtain elastic information from the interfaces of living cells.
