Led by Professor Peter Banzer, they propose and implement a novel technique for an absolute characterization of high numerical aperture microscope objectives, working without an aberration-less or ...

Smaller and more versatile laser confocal microscopy platforms would potentially ... of a small lens in the first place, and limit the numerical aperture of the system. A MEMS element in the objective ...

the numerical aperture of the lens (as used, rather than absolute best possible) was 0.005—for those less familiar with microscopes, a typical microscope objective will have numerical apertures ...

Classic design: the Schmidt objective produces detailed images of neurons in a mouse brain. (Courtesy: Anna Maria Reuss (USZ) & Fabian Voigt (UZH)) Researchers in Switzerland have built what they ...

Immersion-type objectives are available for even higher numerical aperture, using mediums like oil or water to boost resolution. For specialized needs, Shanghai Optics also offers custom microscope ...

Designed with new manufacturing technology that creates lenses with shapes that are difficult to fabricate using other methods, Olympus’ new X Line™ series objectives and the UPLAPO-HR ...

Olympus delivers a breakthrough to life science microscopy with the ... polishing technique enable the objectives to simultaneously boost numerical aperture, flatness and chromatic correction ...

A new range of Olympus microscope lenses break through barriers of image quality, performing at the forefront of lens technology across the board in numerical aperture ... “With this new range of ...

A microscope’s numerical aperture (NA) relates resolution to the wavelengths of light used to illuminate a sample: 2 N A = the numerical aperture of the lens. In practice, virtually all manufacturers ...

OBJ: microscope objective; NA: numerical aperture; TL: tube lens; CAM: camera. In the realm of biomedical imaging, the need for high-resolution imaging over various spatial scales in both lateral ...
