Scientifica HyperScope
Performance measurements
These measurements were taken with two HyperScope systems, employing a Nikon 16X 0.8 NA 3 mm WD objective at 850 nm. The measured field of view at a scan angle of ±15° was 1 mm. The Point Spread Function measurements (below) were carried out by imaging 0.2µm polystyrene fluorescent beads mounted on the surface of a coverslip. From this figure you can see how our unique relay lens system enables having comparable resolution across the field of view.
The relay lenses also provide a constant intensity across the field of view, which can be observed on both the 3D surface plot and the 2D plot profile. Field flatness was mapped using a homogeneous fluorescent sample. Please note that the field of view of 1 mm corresponds only to the top portion of the plot.
