Frequently Asked Questions

The Special Optics objective lens features TIRF objectives with top numerical apertures, high transmission (~350 nm) for laser microdissection, special objectives for patch-clamp applications on vital brain sections allowing measurements of individual ion channels using an inert dip-in objective, infrared-optimized multiphoton objectives for imaging deep neuronal tissue sections, water, glycerol, oil and multi-immersion objectives with correct refraction index for the sample medium and aberration-free imaging of thicker samples.

The advantage of using a custom-designed objective lens is that it can meet exact specifications, improve quality, enhance competitive advantage/business return, provide manufacturing consistency, on-time delivery/availability, warranty/product support, and optical design data for system modeling.

The process of manufacturing a custom objective lens involves optical design experts discussing the customer's specifications and developing an optical design to meet their needs. Mechanical design is also considered when space, weight, and interface with other optics in a system must be considered. Lens polishing and generating in their state-of-the-art facility allow them to closely control the fabrication process and monitor manufacturing tolerances associated with the specific design. Expert lens assembly in their Class 1000 clean space can range from commercial to ultra-precision quality depending on the performance of the design. Final testing of objective assemblies using interferometers or their custom Shack Hartann wavefront sensing metrology (300nm-1000nm) are deployed so they can deliver test data with every lens.

The Special Optics objective lens is used for pushing the limits of microscopy in life science research, life science OEM instruments, semiconductor, light sheet microscopy, two-photon, multiphoton and physical science research.

Special Optics offers warranty and product support for their objective lens. They also have optical design data for system modeling.
