Metal processing surfaces were observed using the developed pupil-segmentation polarization microscope, and the correspondence between image features and temporal changes in the machining process was investigated. The birefringent phase retardation of each segment in a multi-segment ECB liquid-crystal device attached to a coaxial-illumination camera was individually controlled by applied voltages, allowing the pupil-segmentation pattern to be switched and directional sensitivity to be introduced. By employing a pupil-segmentation pattern sensitive to processing marks parallel to the machining direction, temporal variations in surface texture during the machining process were successfully extracted.
