Notes

1.Numerical Aperture (N.A.): defines the light-gathering ability and resolution of an objective. It is given by N.A. = n · sin(θ/2), where n is the refractive index of the medium between the objective and the sample, and θ is the maximum acceptance angle of the light cone. A larger N.A. provides higher imaging resolution, with the minimum resolvable distance d = 0.61 λ / N.A., where λ is the light wavelength.

2.Field of View (FOV): Diameter of the area on the focal plane with diffraction-limited imaging.

3.Apochromatic Range: After passing through an objective, light at different wavelengths focuses at slightly different axial positions (|df|). As long as this focus shift remains within the depth of focus (Δ = λ / (2 · NA²)), image quality is not degraded. The wavelength span over which |df| < Δ is referred to as the apochromatic(APO) range.

4.Anti-Reflective (A.R.): The percentage of transmitted light (T) at specific wavelengths after passing through the objective, relative to the incident light.

5.Focal Length (f): A key optical parameter, defined as the distance from the optical center to the focal point. It is widely used in calculating various optical specifications

Optical Center: The point in the objective where light passes without deviation, serving as the “coordinate origin” of the objective.

Focal Point: The point where parallel light rays converge after passing through the objective.

  1. Measured Maximum Magnetic Field: The maximum field tested. Since the objective is made of fully demagnetized materials, it can theoretically operate in even stronger magnetic fields.
  2. Numerical Aperture ( N.A. ): N.A. = n · sin( θ/2 ), where n is the refractive index of the medium between the objective and the sample, and θ is the aperture angle, defined as the maximum cone of light the system can accept. This parameter determines the resolution of microscopic imaging, with the minimum resolvable distance between two points given by d = 0.61 λ / N.A. ( λ is the wavelength of the light source ).
  3. Anti – Reflective Coating ( A.R. ): The percentage of transmitted light ( T ) at specific wavelengths after passing through the objective, relative to the incident light.
  4. APO: Apochromatic – Due to the chromatic abberation of an objective, the light at different wavelengths focus at slightly different axial positions. As long as the focal shift, df, remains within the depth of focus Δ = λ / ( 2 · NA² ), the image quality is always optimized. The wavelength span over which |df| < Δ is referred to as the apochromatic range.

          – AC: Achromatic – The focal shift between F’ line ( 480 nm ) and C’ line ( 644 nm ) satisfies |fF’- fC’| < 2|Δ| with Δ representing the depth of focus at e line ( 546 nm ).

  1. Focal Length ( f ): A key optical parameter, defined as the distance from the optical center to the focal point. It is widely used in calculating various optical specifications.

          – Optical Center ( Objective Center ): The point through which light passes without deviation, serving as the coordinate origin of the microscope optical system.

          – Focal Point: The point where parallel light rays converge after passing through the objective.

  1. Working Distance ( W.D. ): The vertical distance from the mechanical front end of the objective ( the lowest point of the metal housing protecting the front lens ) to the sample surface when the sample is in focus.
  2. Field of View ( FOV ): The diameter of the area on the objective’s focal plane with diffraction-limited imaging quality.
  3. Entrance Pupil Diameter: The maximum diameter of parallel light that can pass unobstructed through the objective.
  4. Magnification: The objective itself produces parallel light, which cannot form an image directly. In practice, it must be used with a tube lens to form an image. The stated magnification refers to using a 200 mm focal length tube lens.
