Optical Design Software - VirtualLab Fusion

High numerical aperture (NA) microscopy revolutionizes our ability to probe biological structures with unprecedented clarity and precision. By harnessing the principles of optics, microscopes with numerical apertures that surpass traditional limits excel in capturing intricate cellular architectures, dynamic molecular interactions, and subtle nanoscale phenomena. Whether unraveling the mysteries of cellular dynamics or delving into the intricacies of nanomaterials, high NA microscopy empowers scientists to push the boundaries of exploration and discovery in the microscopic world.

VirtualLab Fusion, the optical modeling and design software, provides optical engineers with a comprehensive suite of interoperable simulation algorithms consolidated onto a single platform. This empowers engineers to thoroughly explore optical systems, like these powerful high-NA microscopes, encompassing all relevant effects, and equips them with the necessary tools for comprehensive investigation.

Spatial filtering is a crucial technique in optics for refining laser beams, enhancing their quality, and minimizing aberrations and unwanted diffraction effects. By employing a combination of lenses and apertures, spatial filtering selectively removes unwanted components such as noise, diffraction patterns, and spatial irregularities from the laser beam. This process ensures a more uniform intensity distribution, reduces divergence, and enhances coherence, leading to improved beam quality. Spatial filtering is indispensable in various applications including laser machining, holography, microscopy, and telecommunications, where precise control over beam characteristics is essential for optimal performance and accuracy.

VirtualLab Fusion's unique simulation techniques enable users to model filtering in detail, thereby allowing them to assess the impact on the performance and characteristics of the optical system.
