Using Additional Optics to Adjust Pixel Size

Download Whitepaper
Additional optics such as magnification couplers (also known as camera mount adaptors) can be used to optically adjust the effective pixel size and field of view of scientific cameras to better match the microscope resolution and field of view, respectively. Couplers are placed just before the camera on the camera port of the microscope and are available in several magnification or demagnification values, the most common of which being 0.5x, 0.66x, 1x, 1.5x and 2x. The way couplers function can be described quite simply; demagnification increases the effective pixel size and magnification decreases the effective pixel size at the sample.
