  • Optical system for cell imaging
    Publication number: 20060114553
    Abstract: A microscope system (10, 10?, 10?, 10??) includes a laser (18) or light emitting diode (18??) that generates source light having a non-uniform spatial distribution. An optical system includes an objective (40) defining a field of view, and an optical train (22, 22?, 22?, 22??) configured to convert the source light into an enlarged-diameter collimated light, to spatially homogenize the enlarged-diameter collimated light, and to couple the homogenized enlarged-diameter collimated light into the objective to provide substantially uniform static illumination of the field of view. A camera system (56) is statically optically coupled by the objective with at least most of the field of view.
