ABSTRACT

We describe a novel method of characterizing the longitudinal chromatic aberration of microscope objectives by recording a series of axial responses as a function of wavelength as a plane reflector is scanned through the focal region of a confocal microscope. Measurements are presented for a variety of objectives with differing degrees of correction. The use of the chromatic focal shift to measure surface profiles is also discussed.
