Olympus Fluoview 500


This is part of the Backprojected Pinhole Calculator.

Pinhole reported as a side length in microns


Details


From Olympus R&D: the microscope reports the side-length of a square pinhole in microns (µm). Use this reported value (named C.A, part of the general information in the metadata-file, right below Confocal 'ON") as an input in the form below.

The shape factor is $$c=1/\sqrt{\pi}\approx 0.5642$$.

The system magnification is 3.796, as reported by Olympus engineers but the value that you are asked to fill in below is the "Objective Magnification" (usually 60X or 100X).
