PyRFTL: an open source Python tool for custom tube lens generation from off-the-shelf optics.
Optical design from stock optics can greatly reduce time and cost compared to custom components. The development of remote refocusing and oblique plane microscopy creates a need to build custom microscope tube lenses with specific focal lengths that are not commercially available. Previous methods required proprietary software licenses to take optical aberrations into account. In order to allow a wider community to quickly design custom tube lenses, an open-source, Python-based software for tube lens design is presented in this Letter. It creates tube lenses from the combination of two commercial lenses and then selects the best ones given their optical performances.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
