About This Webinar
Selecting the right microscope objective for a life science application involves the consideration of many specifications like the physical size, magnification, depth of field, and numerical aperture (NA). Often, microscope objectives are chosen based on their NA as this specification is thought to describe the objective's resolving power; however, this does not tell the whole story.
This presentation will go over the combination of factors that actually defines a microscope objective's performance and how this can be applied when integrating these vital components into high magnification imaging systems for life science applications. Real-life examples will be provided to understand how this can be applied to microscopes in applications such as live cell imaging, high-throughput screening, and microfluidics.
