Focusing of light through a stratified medium: a practical approach for computing microscope point spread functions. Part I: Conventional microscopy
We propose a method for microscope point spread function computation in which both design and actual acquisition parameters are explicitly introduced in the integrals describing the electromagnetic field in the focal region. This model therefore combines the ease of use of the Gibson and Lanni scalar approach with the accuracy of the Török and Varga method. We also compare some theoretical pred...
متن کاملStatistical approach for subwavelength measurements with a conventional light microscope.
A method is developed theoretically that will permit subwavelength measurements of objects that differ from the surroundings by any contrast enhancing parameter, such as fluorescence, second harmonic generation, reflection et cetera, using a statistical analysis of a picture obtained with a conventional light microscope through a set of subwavelength apertures or by repeated scanning of a laser...
متن کاملIntraocular light scatter as modeled through a stratified medium.
Intraocular light scatter is modeled through a stratified medium. It is shown that the eye lens possesses properties of an interference filter. In conditions that may mimic opacification, as found with cataract formation, such a filter may have stop zones with reflectance up to 1 in the band of visible light.
متن کاملComputing human optical point spread functions.
There is renewed interest in the role of optics in human vision. At the same time there have been advances that allow for routine standardized measurement of the wavefront aberrations of the human eye. Computational methods have been developed to convert these measurements to a description of the human visual optical point spread function (PSF), and to thereby calculate the retinal image. Howev...
متن کاملCharacterizing point spread functions of two-photon fluorescence microscopy in turbid medium.
In recent years, fluorescence microscopy based on two-photon excitation has become a popular tool for biological and biomedical imaging. Among its advantages is the enhanced depth penetration permitted by fluorescence excitation with the near-infrared photons, which is particularly attractive for deep-tissue imaging. To fully utilize two-photon fluorescence microscopy as a three-dimensional res...
