Title:
ADAPTIVE OPTICAL DEVICE FOR MICROSCOPE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH11101942
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To apply one or more wave front modulators in the observing light and/or illuminating light of an optical microscope to an ordinary microscope by arranging an adaptive optical device in the observing optical path of the optical microscope.

By incorporating an adaptive optical system in the optical path of illuminating light, the soft interpretation of the optical system, the improvement of the optical individuality of the microscope and new illumination technique are realized. A wave front phase modulator optimizes the image formation of an illumination filament (laser if necessary) on an object plane in the same manner even in the optical path of the observing light. In the case of delicate illumination, uniform illumination is set for an object space in the same manner. In such a case, the wave front modulator is installed between a collector and a condenser inserted behind the illumination filament. The intensity and the homogeneity of the illuminating light are spatially optimized on the object plane by the wave front modulator.
