Dear Confocal Microscopy List, 

I'd like to draw your attention to a new tool for microscopists I've developed for Android devices, "Resolution". 

After entering magnification, immersion medium, lambda, and NA the App will calculate resolution (actual and theoretical), axial resolution and fluorescence brightness of your objective. 

Each objective entered can be easily saved and restored.

You can select your camera, binning and additional magnification to determine if you're sampling at Nyquist frequency. 

All information generated get be easily shared via e-mail, MMS, LinkedIn or even Facebook (it could with the share button. 

The App is free to download and compatible with phones or tablets running Android 4.0 or above. 

I hope you find it useful! 

Andrew L. Barlow



Please use the link below on your Android device to install:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Barlowax.resolutionfragments

You can also find it on the Play Store by searching for the Keywords "Resolution Objective"

I understand it takes twice the work to make the same thing for iOS, but
it would be great if you did.  The same request goes out to SVI.  Please?

Hi Tim, 


I plan to this.  


It's taken me six months to go from no android experience to publishing, working in my spare time. 


I think it'll be similar for iOS but I'd really like to do it. 


I also plan to maintain and expand the capabilities of the Android App. 


Regards,

Andy

Well done and thank you!

Hi Andy,
 
Your tool will be useful for many microscopists, including TIRF users. We need it for iPhones too. Unfortunately, I do not have Android and was not able to see which equation did you use for fluorescence brightness. How you define the fluorescence brightness? Did you use for fluorescence brightness ~(NA)^4 (X)^-2? This equation is good for epi-fluorescence and objective-TIRF, when both excitation and emission use the objective. In the case of prism- and lightguide-TIRF, where the excitation lightpath is independent from the emission channel, however, the amount of emitted fluorescence collected  by an objective to a pixel of CCD camera is proportional to the square of numerical aperture and reverse proportional to magnification ~(NA)^2 (X)^-1. If you distinguish between these TIRF geometries, you will benefit the entire microscopists community. Prism- and lightguide-TIRF are becoming indispensable tools for super-resolution microscopies and single molecule studies, becasue they provide "clean" TIRF effect, unlike o-TIRF, which is contaminated with 15-20% of stray light. 
It is important to distingushe between p-, lg-, and o-TIRF geometries. 
Your app is very much needed tool! Thank you.

Thanks Sylvie! 


That's much appreciated!  Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement or new functionality.

Dear Confocal Microscopy List, 

I'd like to draw your attention to a new tool for microscopists I've developed for Android devices, "Resolution". 

After entering magnification, immersion medium, lambda, and NA the App will calculate resolution (actual and theoretical), axial resolution and fluorescence brightness of your objective. 

Each objective entered can be easily saved and restored.

You can select your camera, binning and additional magnification to determine if you're sampling at Nyquist frequency. 

All information generated get be easily shared via e-mail, MMS, LinkedIn or even Facebook (it could with the share button. 

The App is free to download and compatible with phones or tablets running Android 4.0 or above. 

I hope you find it useful! 

Andrew L. Barlow



Please use the link below on your Android device to install:

You can also find it on the Play Store by searching for the Keywords "Resolution Objective"

Hi Alex, 


Thanks for the message. 


Yes, I used (NA)^4 (X)^-2 for brightness, this value is divided by the brightness of a 10x 0.25 objective, which I'm using as "standard brightness" to give the value scale. 


Your suggestions for TIRF are really interesting, and I'd like to discuss these in more detail "off list". 


Thanks,

Andy
