OPTICAL TERMINOLOGY
1. FN and Practical Field of View
The eld number (FN) is the size (in mm) of the eyepiece
diaphragm, which denes the viewable area of a specimen.
The diameter on the sample plane that can actually be
viewed through the eyepiece is known as the practical eld of view (FOV) and is determined by the following
formula:
FOV = (mm)
Example:
B-510BF (F.N. 22) with 10x IOS W-PLAN objective
22
FOV = = 2.2 (mm)

5. Resolving Power
The lateral resolution of a microscope is the minimum distance between two points, which still makes it possible
to distinguish them.
The resolving power (ε) is the reciprocal of the lateral resolution.
The larger the NA, the higher the resolving power.
The following formula is commonly used for the calculation of the resolution.
ε = 0.61 * (Raleigh’s formula)
λ
N.A.
λ: Wavelength of radiation in use
(λ=0.55 μm for visible light.)
NA: Objective NA
Example:
IOS W-PLAN 100X (NA=1.25), λ=0.55 μm
ε = 0.61 * = 0.61 * = = 0.2684 μm
λ
N.A.

The working distance (W.D.) is the distance between the
objective front lens and the specimen surface (or the surface of the cover glass when using a cover glass objective)
when the specimen is in focus.
Objectives can be divided into “normal” WD and “LWD
(Long Working Distance)”.
LWD objectives are typically used in inverted microscopes. Sometimes LWD are also used in upright metallurgical microscopes.
3. Parfocal Distance
The parfocal distance is the distance between the
objective mounting plane and the specimen. In OPTIKA
objectives, the parfocal distance is typically designed to
be 45 mm.
4. Numerical Aperture (NA)
The numerical aperture is the main factor for the performance of an objective (resolving power, focal depth, and
brightness).
The NA is determined by the following formula:
6. Aberrations
The main aberrations (defects of the system in forming a
sharp and resolved image), which aict the microscopes,
and their possible corrections can be summarized as follows:
• Geometric
• Chromatic
While we can neglect some aberrations like Astigmatic or
Coma, the main Geometric aberrations are:
(1) Field Curvature
The image of a plane object, that is the set of radiations
coming from the points that form an extended object
perpendicular to the optical axis, is formed on a curved
surface.
The aberrant arrangement on the image plane is then referred to as eld curvature.
Therefore, when you focus perfectly on the central part of
the image, blurring occurs in the peripheral areas of the
image. To have the entire image in focus, including the
periphery, you need to correctly compensate for this type
of aberration.
NA= n × sinθ
n: the refractive index of the medium where the lens
operates. (Air: n=1, oil: n=1.515)
θ: the angular aperture of the lens, that is the half angle
of the light cone entering in the objective.
(2) Distortion
When there is no exact correspondence between the real
object and its representation on the image plane, this
aberration is called “distortion”. When distortion is present, a square image appears in the shape of a barrel or
pincushion.
This aberration aects only the shape and is due to the features of the optical system in use, which having a certain
3
physical thickness (even variable) moves away from the
theory of the thin lens.
Physically, the eect is due to the dierent magnication
power of the various parts of the optical system, which
generally varies radially with respect to the optical axis.
(3) Chromatic AberrationChromatic aberrations are the types of optical aberration
that occur in refractive optical systems with light formed
by a set of electromagnetic radiations of dierent wavelengths.
The phenomenon of refraction deviates the path of the
light of an angle that also varies according to the wavelength of the radiation. Just like a prism breaks down the
white light into its components, so even a converging lens
will have dierent points of focus depending on the wavelength of the incident light and will create an image with
undesirable coloured halos.
7. Objectives denomination
(1) Achromatic
The most common objectives used in laboratory microscopes are Achromatic objectives, for which perfect coincidence is obtained for only two colours of the spectrum
(red and blue).
Both are brought to a single common focal point.
(2) PLAN Achromatic
These objectives have the same corrections of chromatic
aberrations as an Achromatic objective.
PLAN Achromatic objectives provide atness corrections
with respect to achromatic objectives.
It is important to specify that an PLAN Achromatic objective must inform (according to ISO standard) on which FOV
is planar.
(3) PLAN Fluorite (SemiAphochromatic)
Fluorite objectives are derived from advanced glass for-
mulations containing materials such as uorite or newer
synthetic substitutes that signicantly improve optical
aberration correction. Like Achromatic, Fluorite objectives
are chromatically corrected for red and blue light, but are
also spherically corrected for two or three colours instead
of a single colour, such as Achromatic. Fluorite objectives
have a higher numerical aperture, which translates into
brighter images and better resolving power.
(4) PLAN APO (Apochromatic)
Apochromatic objectives have the highest level of correction.
Apochromatics almost completely eliminate chromatic
aberration, are usually chromatically corrected for three
colours (red, green and blue) and are spherically corrected
for two or three wavelengths.
Due to their high level of correction, apochromatic lenses
usually have higher numerical apertures for a given ma-
gnication than Achromatic or Fluorite objectives.
8. Observation Modes
(1) Brighteld
Brighteld observation does not require any special accessories.
The light generated by the light source is optimized by
the condenser, passes through the sample and then collected by the objective that forms an image.
(2) Darkeld
Oblique illumination not direct on the sample.
The method uses the phenomenon of diraction and refraction of the light produced by the contours and the
structure of the object. .
(3) Phase Contrast
Invented in 1932 by Zernicke, it exploits the dierences
in refractive index and thickness between the sample and
the surrounding area.
It allows the observation of samples not stained (or not
stainable) and of extremely small thickness, that in bright-
eld cannot be observed.
(4) Relief Phase ContrastModulation phase contrast is a new modication of conventional phase contrast which leads to visible improvements of image quality in light microscopy. In particular:
contrast, focal depth, sharpness, three dimensionality,
planeness, and halo artifacts can be improved.
(5) Polarized light
This technique is based on the properties of some anisotropic or birefringent substances (minerals, vitamins,
chlorophyll, collagen, etc.).
It is used in specic areas of microscopic analysis, in particular mineralogy, in which case it is possible to collect
unique and subjective data for the recognition of the mineral (thanks to the use of polarized light), but also in
some applications in biology or medicine (gout analysis,
study of cell membranes).
(6) DIC - Dierential Interference Contrast
Like phase contrast, this method is used to observe tran-
sparent structures not otherwise visible in brighteld.
It combines interference and polarization eects and pro-
vides more contrasted images with a three-dimensional
eect.
(7) Fluorescence
Certain substances, when reached by light with high energy and low wavelength, have the property to emit radiation with a wavelength greater than the exciting radiation.
The substances that behave in this way are said to have a
primary uorescence.
In substances that do not have this characteristic it is pos-
sible to induce a secondary uorescence by colouring
them with uorescent substances called uorochromes,
which are organic compounds capable of reacting chemically with the substrate without altering and have an
observable uorescence in the specic localization sites
even at a minimum concentration.

The specic design makes them perfect for polarized light, driving to an
excellent, ultra-eective contrast and measurement precision.
Long Working Distance provides a wider working space between the
objective front lens and the specimen, a benet for a variety of samples.
These strain-free objectives ensure eld atness up to F.N. 25.
