Consider a 40x objective with Numerical Aperture NA = 1.2. Let’s say that this is an Olympus objective, then the Tube Lens has f T.L. = 180 mm
- a) What is the focal length of the objective?
- b) What is the maximum resolution you can expect to get when imaging with this objective, if all optics are perfect? Assume that you are imaging with red light.
- c) Say that you find a thread adaptor and put this objective in a Nikon rig instead (modern Nikon scopes have has f L. = 200 mm). What is your effective magnification now?
