  Adding a drop of water on top of the cover slip reduces the back-scattering intensity by an order of magnitude or so, but the basic shape remains the same. Even if one removes everything extra from the beam path, these fringes remain there, they are universal. There are a lot of surfaces, coatings, etc., perfectly aligned in order to obtain such an image. Interferences are unavoidable, note that all those images reported above are slightly defocused.
-Such images are used for the daily and fundamental alignment of the MicroTime 200. The detailed procedure is described in the user manual of MicroTIme 200. Although the MicroTime is extremely robust we suggest its sers to spend 5-10 minutes every day for verifying the quality of the alignment by inspecting the backreflection pattern.
