The effects upon imaging due to varying the spatial coherence of the illumination in an optical system are studied. A rotating diffuser is located directly behind the object in an optical system and is trans-illuminated with spatially coherent monochromatic light. The statistical properties of the diffuser surface determine the scattering cone angle and the partial coherence effects in the image. A model is presented that can be used to determine the diffuser properties required to yield incoherent imaging. Two metrics are used to determine if an image is incoherent: the apparent transfer function and image contrast.
