Patent ID: 11422032

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a device (100) for multicolor optical imaging of a sample (102) with wavelength-dependent optical path length enhancement, the device (100) comprising an optical resonator (106) for enhancing an optical path length, wherein the optical resonator (106) has a first finesse at a first wavelength and a second finesse at a second wavelength; a sample holder (104) for mounting the sample (102) in the optical resonator (106), wherein the sample holder (104) is configured to hold the sample (102) such that an optical axis (112) of the optical resonator (106) intersects with the sample (102);a first imaging system (114) for imaging the sample (102) at the first wavelength with a first imaging technique, and a second imaging system (126) for imaging the sample (102) at the second wavelength with a second imaging technique, wherein the second wavelength is different from the first wavelength; wherein the first finesse and the second finesse are chosen such that the optical resonator (106) enhances a first image quality indicator of the imaging with the first imaging system (114) and a second image quality indicator of the imaging with the second imaging system (126).
