Re: micropscop objective and telecentricity


Hi Helpful person,

OK, so if the aperture stop is at the "back aperture" (back focal
plane),
and therefore the "front end" of the objective does not provide a stop,
then the NA does not change with field position. Is that correct?

And does that also mean that any scanning pivot should be at the back
aperture?

Regards,
Brett
