Scanning microscopy using a short-focal-length Fresnel zone plate

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate a form of scanning microscopy using a short-focal-length Fresnel zone plate and a low-NA relay telescope. Owing to a focal length of only 5μm, the zone plate produces large wavefront tilt and consequently severe vignetting for off-axis illumination. By scanning an optically trapped fluorescent sphere, we measure the vignetted collection region of the zone-plate imaging system. The fluorescence collection efficiency is sharply peaked and has a lateral width of 550nm, which agrees with numerical simulations.
