High numerical aperture singular beam scanning microscopy: preliminary experimental results
High sensitivity and a high speed nanoscale measurement becomes an important subject in modern industry, when analysis of high speed moving nanoscale objects on a surface is required. Recently we have shown a possible approach to this problem using singular beam microscopy. Singular beam microscopy performs scanning by utilization of the relative movement between the focused singular beam and t...
متن کاملHigh-numerical-aperture-based virtual point detectors for photoacoustic tomography.
The focal point of a high-numerical-aperture (NA) ultrasonic transducer can be used as a virtual point detector. This virtual point detector detects omnidirectionally over a wide acceptance angle. It also combines a large active transducer surface and a small effective virtual detector size. Thus the sensitivity is high compared with that of a real point detector, and the aperture effect is sma...
متن کاملA high numerical aperture, polymer-based, planar microlens array.
We present a novel microfabrication approach for obtaining arrays of planar, polymer-based microlenses of high numerical aperture. The proposed microlenses arrays consist of deformable, elastomeric membranes that are supported by polymer-filled microchambers. Each membrane/microchamber assembly is converted into a solid microlens when the supporting UV-curable polymer is pressurized and cured. ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution microscopy without high-numerical-aperture lenses: standing-wave scanning fluorescence microscopy
We propose and demonstrate a new type of far-field fluorescence microscope capable of sub-λ resolution without high numerical aperture (NA) lenses. In the new standing-wave scanning fluorescence microscope, focused illumination is generated by the interference of a large number of planar wavefronts. Scanning confocal detection eliminates the need for modulation of wavefront phases during image ...
متن کاملDesign of a high-numerical-aperture miniature microscope objective for an endoscopic fiber confocal reflectance microscope.
An endoscopic confocal microscope requires a high-performance, miniaturized microscope objective. We present the design of a miniature water-immersion microscope objective that is approximately 10 times smaller in length than a typical commercial objective. The miniature objective is 7 mm in outer diameter and 21 mm in length (from object to image). It is used in a fiber confocal reflectance mi...
