Abstract: There is provided a microscope focus control system comprising an illumination source (70) and a polarisation-sensitive detector (66) positioned to receive a reflected beam (40) from an interface (54) having a reference refractive index and configured to detect polarisation components of the reflected beam (40). An elongate aperture (72) is disposed proximal the illumination source (70) to generate a rectangular beam (74) to impinge on the interface (54) and a second aperture (106) is located at a position corresponding to an unfocused region of the reflected beam (40) from the interface (54) so as to direct unfocused reflected light onto the polarisation-sensitive detector (66). Changes in polarisation components of the reflected beam are used to measure of change in position of the interface (54) relative to the objective (50). The reflected beam (40) is generated by Fresnel reflection.
