a–c PLM texture of a RM-OC2/R811 mixture (wt% = 99.5/0.5) taken under different combinations of polarizers. The analyzer is rotated 31°Clockwise (a) and 31°anticlockwise (c). Scale bar, 50 μm. d XY-cross-sectional SHG-CPM image in the midplane of the cell visualized by a linearly polarization P. Scale bar, 20 µm. e, f SHG microscopy images. Scale bars, 3 µm. g XY-cross-sectional FCPM image visualized by a linearly polarization indicated by the white arrow. Scale bar, 10 μm. h Reconstructed right-handed divergent polarization fields from SHG-I and FCPM data.
