Usage of Debye-Wolf Integral Calculator

Abstract

It is well known that the Debye-Wolf integral can be used to calculate the vectorial field near the focal plane in a semi-analytical manner. The Debye-Wolf integral is often used as the basic tool for the analysis of high-NA microscope imaging situations. It is based on an idealized model and therefore it does not require the knowledge on the exact lens specifications for the calculation.

This tutorial will explain how to use the Debye-Wolf integral calculator in VirtualLab Fusion.
