Optical components

SCHOTT can leverage its prominent presence in numerous industries to develop customized solutions for a broad range of applications, including lithography, astronomy, opto-electronics, digital projection, augmented reality, life sciences, the automotive and aviation sectors. A portfolio of more than 120 optical glasses offers limitless potential.

The field area (A) is calculated by . If the cell is used as unit (instead of mm), the total number of cells in the field of view can be derived from the number of cells on the diameter line with the formula. This is an excellent approximation for most of our histological samples.  For example, if 16 positive cells and 28 total cells are on the line across diameter, respectively. Then Positive cells (Pi x 82 =201) divided by total cells number (Pi x 142 = 616) in entire field would be % of positive cells (201/ 616= 32.6%) (Figure).

SCHOTT is both ISO 9001 and 14001 certified. The production of our optical components is constantly monitored at all stages, and they also comply with EU-RoHS and EU-REACH standards.

Opticallenses

Diameter of the field of view (mm) = F / M, where F is the number of field of view (FOV) of the eyepiece, and M is the magnification (mag.) of the objective.

Latest microscopy techniques allow scientists to see individual live cells with resolution beyond the Abbe Limit, thanks to super resolution imaging.

Thorlabs

SCHOTT leads the way in the optical components industry thanks to a commitment to innovation, with rigorous testing capabilities and product development resulting in unrivalled technical standards. With the ability to supply highly customized plano optics, aspheres, lenses, prisms, substrates and coatings, we use the most advanced materials and the latest processing techniques to deliver quality, versatility and reliability.

For example: Diameter of  the field of view (mm) = 20 / 40 = 0.50, where 20 is the field number of eyepiece, and 40 = objective mag.

Optical componentsof microscope

Most modern microscopes have eyepieces with the number of field of view at 20 or 22. The diameters of the field of view are listed:

SCHOTT consistently sets new standards for optical components, and prisms are a key area in which our products offer a clear USP. With a deep knowledge of glass, we can make prisms from non-standard materials with exceptionally high homogeneity (up to H4 level). This results in even better image quality and higher performance.

Most people use put a transparent plastic ruler under microscope to perform this task. Actually, the microscope itself provides pretty accurate measurements ranging from 0.2 - 10 mm. Based on optical physics, the diameter of the field of view can be reliably derived by a simple formula:

SCHOTT Advanced Optics has a vast range of lenses, aspheres, prisms, substrates and wafers in its portfolio, using its global network of experts to deliver high precision optical solutions. With command over the entire value chain, we offer full application support to all customers.
