Reconstruction of Shinya-scope 1 drawn from memory by Shinya Inoue in October 1992. Inoue had previously rested the parts of his polarizing microscope on books, but when the Emperior of Japan came to visit, he went to try and find a base to attach the parts of the microscope to. He found a discarded machine gun base, and attached the parts to it with string.

Black and white photograph of polarizing microscopy of the mitotic spindle of the endosperm. The two columns depict images obtained with different rotations of the compensator. The top row depicts the cell during metaphase, the bottom four rows depict, from the second row down to the fifth, progression through anaphase.
Polarizing microscopical images of crystals of Green Fluorescent Protein. This work, with Inoue conducted with Osamu Shimomura and others, has shown that it is possible for researchers to identify the orientation of GFP in cells, as well as its presence or absence.

Polarizing microscopical image of cave cricket sperm. The patterns of birefringence in the upper half of the sperm displays the different regions of the DNA. The dark region below the middle of the sperm has been irradiated with UV. The five images were taken at different rotational angles of the compensator, which allow light of different polarizations to pass through.
