Scatter - Rayleigh Scatter - directly proportional to property of the scattering molecule
called molecular polarizability (ie dipole formation), inversely proportional to the fourth power
of the wavelength of the incident light (blue light has highest scatter - thus blue sky!)
Scatter - Raman Scatter - (p 93 3rd ed) molecules undergo vibrational transitions at the
same time as scatter occurs- if is transition to higher level is known as Stoke's Raman
emission. Normally 1/1000th intensity of Rayleigh Scatter, but is significantly increased
when using lasers for excitation.. Raman emission of water at 488 nm excitation is around
570-590 nm.
Polarizations - E vectors - larger changes in E vectors not incident light plane; Mie
scattering - increased scatter in the forward angle for larger particles (1/4 wavelength to
tens of wavelength). (p89, 3rd ed)
Incident light, reflected light, transmitted light, refractive index - note the angle of incidence =
angle of reflection regardless of the material of surface. tt transmission angle depends upon
the composition of material according to Snell's law of refraction n1 sin Ti =n2 sin Tt
n1, n2 are the refractive indices respectively through which the incident beam passes (air = 1
essentially)

Light Propagation &
Vergence
• Considering a point source emission of light, rays
emanate over 4pi steradians
• If the ray of light travels through a length L of a
medium of RI n, the optical path length S=Ln (thus S
represents the distance light woul dhave traveled in a
vacuum in the same time it took to travel the distance
L in the medium (RI n).
• Rays diverge (because the come from a point source
• Vergence is measured in diopters

Image Formation
• Object plane - (originating image)
• Image plane - inverted real image
• A real image is formed whenever rays
emanating from a single point in the object
plane again converge to a single point

Numerical Aperture
• The wider the angle the lens is
capable of receiving light at, the
greater its resolving power
• The higher the NA, the shorter the
working distance

Numerical Aperture
• Resolving power is directly related to numerical
aperture.
• The higher the NA the greater the resolution
• Resolving power:
The ability of an objective to resolve two distinct lines
very close together
NA = n sin m
– (n=the lowest refractive index between the object and
first objective element) (hopefully 1)
– m is 1/2 the angular aperture of the objective

Numerical Aperture
• For a narrow light beam (i.e. closed illumination aperture
diaphragm) the finest resolution is (at the brightest point of
the visible spectrum i.e. 530 nm)…(closed condenser).

• With a cone of light filling the entire aperture the
theoretical resolution is…(fully open condenser)..

Depth of Field and
Resolution
• Depth of field is designated as the longitudinal
distance for the formation of a sharp image is
obtained at a fixed point in the image plane
• Limits of resolution are diffraction limited - the
diffraction image is a point is a bright central spot
surrounded by what is called the Airy disk
(alternating light and dark rings)
• at wavelength l, the radius of the Airy disk is 0.61
l Thus to resolve two points they need to be at
least this distance apart (radius of the Airy disk)
thus the resolution is defined as 0.61 l /NA

Köhler
• Köhler illumination creates an evenly
illuminated field of view while illuminating
the specimen with a very wide cone of light
• Two conjugate image planes are formed
– one contains an image of the specimen and the
other the filament from the light

Refraction
Short wavelengths are “bent”
more than long wavelengths
dispersion
Light is “bent” and the resultant colors separate (dispersion).
Red is least refracted, violet most refracted.

Some Definitions
• Absorption
– When light passes through an object the intensity is reduced
depending upon the color absorbed. Thus the selective
absorption of white light produces colored light.
• Refraction
– Direction change of a ray of light passing from one transparent
medium to another with different optical density. A ray from
less to more dense medium is bent perpendicular to the
surface, with greater deviation for shorter wavelengths
• Diffraction
– Light rays bend around edges - new wavefronts are generated
at sharp edges - the smaller the aperture the lower the
definition
• Dispersion
– Separation of light into its constituent wavelengths when
entering a transparent medium - the change of refractive index
with wavelength, such as the spectrum produced by a prism or a
rainbow
