Yes, clinical applications are one of the areas in which the X-line objectives are extremely beneficial. For instance, when using a laser scanning confocal microscope in neuroscience applications it is not uncommon to want to image an entire section to be analyzed collectively; this requires tile stitching. However, an uneven field of view can necessitate taking additional zoomed images to reduce stitching artefacts. In turn, this increases the amount of photo-damage to your sample and increases the amount of time taken for your total scan. The Olympus X-line objective achieves high resolution without the need to zoom and take additional images.
