Bought an off-the-shelf microscope objective and not seeing the expected optical performance?
Unsure if your objective prototype was assembled correctly?
Need to measure your microscope objective for quality testing?
Not seeing the clarity or definition you expected from your microscope objective?
Whether it’s a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) objective or a custom microscope objective, the IQ Lab can measure it.
Steph Smith, IQ Lab engineer explains, “Most people are doing their wavefront measurements with a monochromatic laser-source interferometer. This new addition to our measurement suite enables you to see the performance of your objective at multiple laser wavelengths. Customers can get a wider characterization of their objective and where improvements can be made.”
We offer the following on-axis measurements of your microscope objective at 465 nm, 525 nm, and 638 nm:
— Zernike coefficients
— Wavefront map
— MTF (Modulation Transfer Function)
— PSF (Point Spread Function)
— Axial Chromatic Aberration (Axial Color)
“We want to give customers data that more closely represents their use-case scenario,” elaborates Kevin Rovelli, IQ Lab Manager. “Measuring at three different colors instead of one ultimately gives you a better understanding on how your objective will perform as part of your integrated optical assembly.”
