Zemax (optical design) files of microscope objectives, tube lenses, and Fourier imaging setups

This fileset contains Zemax files related to the manuscript entitled “Comparative analysis of imaging configurations and objectives for Fourier microscopy” by Jonathan A. Kurvits, Mingming Jiang, and Rashid Zia. Specifically, it includes multi-configuration Zemax files that allow for the comparison of different Fourier microscopy imaging configurations as well as Zemax lens files and lens catalogs for microscope objectives and tube lenses, as inferred from the following published patents: 1) U.S. Patent # 5,517,360; assignee: Olympus; objective description: 60x, 1.4 NA Plan Apo. 2) U.S. Patent # 5,659,425; assignee: Olympus; objective description: 100x, 1.65 NA Apo. 3) U.S. Patent # 6,504,563; assignee: Zeiss; objective description: 100x, 1.45 NA TIRF. 4) U.S. Patent # 6,519,092; assignee: Nikon; objective description: 60x, 1.4 NA Plan Apo. 5) U.S. Patent # 6,519,092; assignee: Nikon; objective description: 100x, 1.4 NA Plan Apo. 6) U.S. Patent # 7,046,451; assignee: Nikon; objective description: 60x, 1.5 NA TIRF (modeled as 1.49 NA to match possible commercial realization). 7) U.S. Patent # 7,046,451; assignee: Nikon; objective description: 100x, 1.5 NA TIRF (modeled as 1.49 NA to match possible commercial realization). 8) U.S. Patent # 7,889,433; assignee: Nikon; objective description: 60x, 1.25 water immersion.
