see summary provided as pdf. Figure041 - transmission spectra from integrating sphere and UV-vis; reflection spectra from integrating sphere and double-ended probe. Figure044 - angle-resolved optical spectroscopy spectra for specular, scattering and tilt modes. Figure046 - POM for reflection (R) and transmission (T) from the same region of interest (ROI 4). Figure047 - POM for bright field (BF) and dark field (DF) at the same region of interest (ROI 3). Figure048 - POM at various magnifications (5x, 10x, 20x) at the same region of interest (ROI 2). Figure049 - POM and spectra in various imaging modes (unpolarised UP, parallel polarisers PP, crossed polarisers XP, circular polarisation LP and RP) at the same region of interest (ROI 2). Figure050 - POM in bright field (BF) in various imaging modes (reflection R or transmission T, or both RT) and polarization (unpolarized UP, parallel PP or crossed polarizers XP)
