20.309: Biological Instrumentation and Measurement

ImageBar 774.jpg

Objectives

  • Measure the point spread function of the 20.309 fluorescence microscope
  • Examine the effect of NA, magnification, and optical corrections on PSF
  • Generate a dataset for deconvolution problem set

Materials and methods

Exercise left to the reader

Microscope at Station 5

The microscope currently at station 5 is not finalized. Bright field images reveal the sample along with a ghost image of the sample due to some reflection. One possible reason is that the 200mm imaging lens is too far from the objective.
