A kind of microcobjective numerical aperture measurement method based on diffraction grating
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of optical detection more particularly to a kind of surveys of the microcobjective numerical aperture based on diffraction grating
Amount method.
Background technique
The core component of microscopic system is microcobjective, and the performance of entire microscopic system is determined by microcobjective, and numerical value
Aperture is the important parameter for judging microcobjective performance (resolution ratio, depth of focus, brightness etc.), good numerical aperture measurement method pair
Microcobjective optic-mechanical design and integrated technique etc. are of great significance.
The numerical aperture of measurement object lens mainly uses apertometer at present, and when measurement is mainly seen using human eye
It examines, venter of relicle and observed round spot are tangent on adjusting apertometer, then read data.Whole operation process is all
It is that survey crew completes, the requirement to survey crew is relatively high, and the precision measured is also poor, especially measures higher
When the object lens of NA, it is also necessary to which, by attachment objective, complicated operation, it is difficult to realize automatic detection.Based on total reflection principle
The measurement method of microcobjective numerical aperture is relatively easy, but measuring basis is single, once the position that total reflection absorbs circle occurs
Deviation can produce a very large impact measurement result, and in order to generate total reflection phenomenon, the numerical aperture sheet of microcobjective to be measured
Body must just be wide enough so that incident light meets the angle of excitation total reflection, i.e. total reflection phenomenon is not suitable for low numerical aperture
The measurement of object lens.
The microcobjective numerical aperture measurement method based on diffraction grating that the invention proposes a kind of, collimated light beam pass through light
Diffraction occurs after grid, after the imaging of the microcobjective of finite numerical aperture, can observe diffraction on the focal plane of microcobjective
Striped.By determining diffraction fringe position and back focal plane visual field border position, and according to the letter between the two and numerical aperture of objective
Number relationship, can be calculated the numerical aperture of microcobjective.This method is not only without troublesome operation, but also has the diffraction fringe of plural number
As the measuring basis of plural number, measurement accuracy is improved.
