Suitability Of Objectives For The Use; Suitability Of Optical Fibers For Use In Cell Observer Sd - Zeiss Cell Observer SD Operating Manual

Cell Observer SD
2.5

Suitability of Objectives for the Use

The functional principle described in section 2.2 imposes certain requirements for selection of objectives.
The pinhole diameter is 50 µm, a pair of neighbouring pinholes are located at a distance of 250 µm from
each other. The pinhole diameter is optimized for strongly magnifying objective lenses with a high
numerical aperture (100x / 1.4 or similar).
Using the CSU-X1 with weakly magnifying objectives will result in specimen sections with a thickness by
far greater than 1 AU (Airy Unit).

Suitability of Optical Fibers for Use in Cell Observer SD

For this application, the optical fiber cable is factory-shipped as an integral part of the spinning disc unit.
The total laser power which is injected into the fiber cable must not exceed a value of 100 mW!
