Hi Mike,
http://www.mesolens.com/product/technical-specificationsMagnification: 4x
Numerical aperture: 0.47
Working distance: 3 mm
Lateral field of view: 6mm
Lateral resolution at 500nm: 640 nm
Axial resolution at 500nm: 2.9 μm
you can try asking Brad Amos for one of his Mesolenses.
Recent ad in Science is unclear whether Prior will be selling this, or
is simply proud to have supplied "leading-edge repeatability and
precision" XY (and Z?):
http://www.sciencemag.org/custom-publishing/new-products/3d-microscopeThe Mesolens microscope makes possible for the first time the imaging of
relatively large biomedically important specimens such as embryos, brain
areas, or tumors, with full 3D recording of many thousands of cells. The
microscope’s innovative design includes a novel apochromatic lens with
an aperture-to-magnification ratio far in excess of conventional lenses
used by other manufacturers. This low-magnification lens, with its
exceptionally high numerical aperture, can image an entire specimen
while retaining subcellular detail, thus removing the need for image
stitching. The focus motor enables the Mesolens to provide highly
accurate imaging in the/z/-axis. The leading-edge repeatability and
precision of the microscope stage ensures that the correct position of
the specimen is obtained and maintained throughout the entire imaging
process. Prior Scientific www.prior-scientific.co.uk

Mesolens microscope may be downloaded from

enjoy,
George
p.s. If Brad sends you one, please ask him to send me one too.
