light between the objective lens and tube lens,
allowing the creation of user-specific or task-
specific optical systems. To establish real flexibility
with such a system, it is necessary to eliminate the
occurrence of coma aberration.
*In UIS2/UIS objective lenses, the parfocal distance is designed
at 45mm and the focal length of the tube lens is 180mm.
Basic dimensions of UIS2/UIS optical system
The UIS2/UIS optical system optimally corrects
aberration with a dedicated telan lens and an
eyepiece so that the coma aberration and flatness
are not degraded even when the telan lens exit
pupil position is changed by changing the
objective lens and telan distance. This makes it
possible to use a distance of 50mm to 170mm
from objective lens mounting position to the single
port tube with lens.
*Coma aberration: refer to the optical terminology at the end of
this document.
What's infinity-corrected optics?
UIS2/UIS optics is an infinity-corrected optical
system — in other words, a system in which light
passes from the specimen through the objective
lens without forming an image along the way.
Instead, it travels in the form of infinity parallel rays
to the tube lens. The tube lens is where the
intermediate image is formed, whereas in finite-
corrected optics, this is done by the objective lens.
Advantages of infinity-corrected optics
This system, known as "infinity-corrected optics",
offers a number of advantages:
•
There is no change in magnification even when
the distance between the objective lens and tube
lens is altered.
•
With the total magnification remaining constant,
there is no image aberration — even when
prisms or sliders are interposed between the
objective lens and the tube lens.
As thousands of users have found by experience,
these advantages are crucial to composing the
ideal microscope optical system. What's more, it
is even possible to freely insert or remove
intermediate attachments in the parallel rays of
