Frequently Asked Questions

Special Optics custom designed high N.A. objectives are 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.

The benefits of choosing a custom objective over an off-the-shelf objective include risk mitigation, improved quality, meeting exact specifications, enhancing competitive advantage/business return, manufacturing consistency, on time delivery/availability, warranty/product support, and optical design data for system modeling.

The features of Special Optics custom designed high N.A. objectives include 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, and water, glycerol, oil and multi-immersion objectives with correct refraction index for the sample medium and aberration-free imaging of thicker samples.

Together, Special Optics and Applied Scientific Imaging (ASi) developed... (truncated input)

The process for manufacturing custom microscope objectives involves optical design by experts, mechanical design, lens polishing and generating, expert lens assembly in a Class 1000 clean space, and final testing of objective assemblies using interferometers or custom Shack Hartann wavefront sensing metrology.
