An interference microscope based on the principles of nonlinear optics comprises an ordinary microscope which has three additional internal optical elements, namely, two nonlinear frequency-doubling platelets and an infra-red filter, each suitably positioned. Light from an infra-red laser light source is passed through the platelets and filter, and the phase shift of the resulting image in the visible spectrum at the eyepiece is measured in order to calculate the optical thickness of a transparent object.
