Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) — Dev Tier

(5 scenes)

Blind evaluation tier — no ground truth available.

What you get

Measurements (y), ideal forward operator (H), and spec ranges only.

How to use

Apply your pipeline from the Public tier. Use consistency as self-check.

What to submit

Reconstructed signals and corrected spec. Scored server-side.

Parameter Specifications

🔒

True spec hidden — estimate parameters from spec ranges below.

Parameter Spec Range Unit
shear_amount 76.0 – 136.0 nm
bias_retardation -0.15 – 0.15 nm
prism_orientation -0.72 – 1.08 deg
