CONT

... a computer is used in a known manner to determine the modifications of the parameters described above for optimizing the aberration distribution in the entire range of magnifications to be used, thereby to arrive at a family of curves... When these final computer adjustments are made and applied to lens 15, there may be a perceptible departure from symmetry; however, the mutli-element lens 15 will remain substantially symmetrical... If desired, the final computer adjustments may be made with the aid of a known lens design computer program known as Accos Zoom, which is commercially available from the Scientific Calculation Corporation.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optical Instruments
CONT

Stereozoom Microscopes. Mention was made earlier that the zoom concept is particularly well suited to stereomicroscope applications. This is due to the fact that the upper useful magnification range of numerical aperture objectives.(...) The two zoom lenses in Fig. 3A are cam driven in the conventional fashion and the first zoom lens is designed to vary the effective numerical aperture in much the same way as described for the compound microscope in Fig. 1B.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments d'optique
CONT

Le microscope stéréoscopique à zoom est un perfectionnement récent [du microscope stéréoscopique] qui permet de faire varier le grossissement dans certaines limites. Beaucoup de microscopes stéréoscopiques modernes ont une application précise, comme l'assemblage répétitif, et ont un grossissement unique.
