    摘要: The present relates to chromatic focusing via filter thickness tuning. Chromatic focusing can be achieved via an imaging system that includes a sample holding plane, a light source that illuminates the sample on the plane, and an imager that captures an image of the sample on the plane. The imager includes a sensor, a lens, and a filter wheel defining a plurality of filter apertures including a first aperture containing a first filter passing light of a first color and having a first focal point shift, and a second aperture containing a second filter passing light of a second color and having a second focal point shift. The focal point shifts cause both light of the first color passing through the first filter and through the lens and light of the second color passing through the second filter and through the lens to focus on the sensor.

    摘要: An observation device including: a stage having a transparent pedestal surface; an illumination system under the pedestal surface, the illumination system emitting illumination light toward the pedestal surface; and an object system under the pedestal surface for capturing transmission light generated from the illumination light, reflected off a reflection surface and transmitted through a sample. Wherein a first light path in the illumination system is different from a second light path in the object system, in a first pupil surface of the illumination system, the illumination system generates the illumination light by restricting light in a first transparent region, in a second pupil surface of the object system, the object system restricts the transmission light in a second transparent region, and the second transparent region has first and second subregions with different transmittance, the second subregion located between the first subregion and an edge of the second transparent region.

    摘要: A microscope and a microscopy method for imaging an object, wherein use is made of a microscope comprising an objective which defines an optical axis and a focal plane perpendicular thereto, and an adjustable correction optical unit which, at the objective, corrects a spherical aberration occurring when imaging the object with a certain depth position of the focal plane. The method comprises the following steps: determining an actual type of object; reading a database in which refractive indices of different types of objects are stored in order to determine the refractive index of the object; using a relationship between the refractive index and the spherical aberration caused by the object in order to ascertain an adjustment value of the correction optical unit such that there is a reduction in the spherical aberration in the focal plane; adjusting the correction optical unit to the adjustment value; and imaging the object.
