Avantier's case study examines the high NA infinity conjugate long working distance microscope objective, designed for optical tweezers and other precision applications. With a 16 mm focal length, 14 ...

With ultrafast laser systems, high-intensity laser pulses in a localized focal volume and time can be generated. This allows for novel laser applications in material processing based on nonlinear ...

A microscope objective lens produces a real, magnified image of an object placed within the field of view. Before it is observed the image is then magnified again by the ocular lens, also known as the ...

Placing colloidal spheres in the immediate proximity of fluorescent molecules makes it possible to achieve single-molecule imaging at high temperatures with a low-cost system. In an optical microscope ...

Zooming in: image of mouse embryo. (Courtesy: Gail McConnell/University of Strathclyde) A new microscope lens that offers the unique combination of a large field of view with high resolution has been ...

Figure 1 (a) Structure of the mesoscopic objective, (b) Aberration distribution of the mesoscopic objective, (c) Wide-field imaging system built with the mesoscopic objective, (d) Laser point-scanning ...

Over on YouTube [Applied Science] shows us how to make an f/0.38 camera lens using an oil immersion microscope objective. The f-number of a lens indicates how well it will perform in low-light. To ...
