An objective lens attachment (10) positions a microsphere lens (13) between the objective lens (2) and a sample. The attachment (10) is adapted to position the microsphere lens at a desired separation from the objective lens (2) to provide optimal super resolution imaging performance. The objective lens attachment (10) comprises a cap (14) having a substantially tubular body (15) and a top (16). The top (16) is provided with a contact surface (17) surrounding an aperture (18). The aperture (18) is aligned with the objective lens when the cap (14) is fitted to the objective lens housing (3). A support sheet (11) formed from optically clear material is affixed to the cap (14). Upon the support sheet (11) is provided an adhesive layer (12). Affixed to the adhesive layer (12) is a microsphere lens (13), the microsphere lens being aligned with the centre of the objective lens (2).
An objective lens attachment for a microscope, the attachment comprising:
A method of constructing an objective lens attachment for a microscope, comprising the steps of:
A method as claimed in 14, wherein affixing the microsphere lens to the adhesive layer includes placing the microsphere lens on a clean microscope slide;
A super resolution microscopy apparatus comprising:
