Dear Guy Cox (and to others who have measured this):
what is your FWHM in the x, y, and particularly z-dimension using
100 nm beads and the mentioned objective (63x, 1.4 N.A.). I recently
measured this on our Zeiss LSM410 and was disappointed: 1.8 um FWHM
with a Zeiss Plan-Neofluar (40X N.A. 1.3 oil) in the z-axis. In the y
x dimension the FWHM was as expected diffraction limited.
Thans for your imput
