PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polarization interference microscope enabling variable contrasting, a retrofit kit for a conventional microscope and for a conventional polarization interference microscope, and a method for imaging objects to enable variable contrasting. SOLUTION: The polarization interference microscope (1) for imaging the objects (5) comprises a light source (2), an illumination beam path (6), an imaging beam path (7) and an objective (4). The illumination beam path (6) extends from the light source (2) to the object (5). The imaging beam path (7) extends from the object (5) to a detector or a tube (3). At least one polarization means (9) is provided in the illumination beam path (6) and/or in the imaging beam path (7), by which at least one polarization means the light of the respective beam paths (6 and 7) can be converted into a predeterminable polarization state. An analyzer means (10) is provided in the imaging beam path (7). A birefringent component is provided between the polarization means (9) and the analyzer means (10) and the birefringent component divides the light polarized by the polarization means (9) into two partial beams (13 and 14) having different polarization directions. The component can perform splitting between the two partial beams (13 and 14). COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
