| OCYLOT Images
Although commercial laboratory microscopes
are capable of producing excellent images, these are optimized for
viewing by eye and often suffer degradation when captured by digital
camera add-ons.
In designs using the OCYLOT Imaging
strategy, the design of the optics and the selection of the camera are
intended solely to produce the best image data quality for computer
analysis. The advantage of this strategy can be clearly seen in the
images below. |

Image 1 – Scale
Micrometer
In this image, the spacing
between the lines on the lithographed scale is 10 microns. The
total field of view is 250 microns and the approximate
resolution is about 0.2 microns (200 nm) per pixel.

In this extract from the image
above, sub-micron defects in the lines can be easily seen.

Image 2 – Blood
As above, the total field
of view is 250 microns and the approximate resolution is about
0.2 microns (200 nm) per pixel. The right image is a magnified
section of the left.

Image 3 –
Pancreas
As above, the total field
of view is 250 microns and the approximate resolution is about
0.2 microns (200 nm) per pixel. The right image is a magnified
section of the left.

Image 4 –
Image Sensor
While the biological images were
illuminated by transmission, this semiconductor device image is epi-illuminated
with narrowband, short-wavelength blue light for highest resolution. |

Image 5 –
Disk Drive Suspension Arm and Read Head
These are epi-illuminated – 10x
on the left and 40x on the right. |
