Neuroscientists have developed innovative objectives for light microscopy by using mirrors to produce images. Their design finds correspondence in mirror telescopes used in astronomy on the one hand ...
A global leader in agricultural genetics sought durable, economical UV microscope objectives. Issues in meeting these objectives included optical design complexity, wavefront control, and fabrication ...
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 ...
Plan-apochromat microscope objectives set the benchmark for precise, high-resolution imaging with exceptional color accuracy. By correcting chromatic and spherical aberrations while maintaining a flat ...
