Adaptive Scanning Optical Microscope (ASOM): A multidisciplinary optical microscope design for large field of view and high resolution imaging

Adaptive Scanning Optical Microscope (ASOM): A multidisciplinary optical microscope design for large field of view and high resolution imaging.

From micro-assembly to biological observation, the optical microscope remains one of the most important tools for observing below the threshold of the naked human eye. However, in its conventional form, it suffers from a trade-off between resolution and field of view. This paper presents a new optical microscope design that combines a high speed steering mirror, a custom designed scanner lens, ...

Design of a Scanning Optical Microscope for Simultaneous Large Field of View and High Resolution

In microsystems applications from micro-assembly to biological observation and manipulation, the optical microscope remains one of the most important tools. However, it suffers from the well known trade-off between resolution and field of view. Traditional solutions involve moving the sample under the microscope using a moving stage or moving the microscope itself, and switching between low and...

Apertureless scanning near field optical microscope with sub-10nm resolution

A Portable, Optical Scanning System for Large Field of View, High Resolution Imaging of Biological Specimens

Large field-of-view (FOV), high resolution imaging of biological specimens is a challenging task, requiring sophisticated and bulky optical systems. Such systems cannot be used for diagnosing or monitoring a disease at the point-of-care. To address this need, we developed a portable, optical system that can image—with a 2.88 μm resolution—large areas (6 mm × 40 mm) from various biological sampl...
