Lens approchment

In the image below we can see a Pancellent HD Digital Microscope (USB Microscope) set to produce a 1000x magnification image of what it sees. The Pancellent is pointing at a fibre optic cable which is our sample. A number of these are mounted vertically and can be seen by the cyan glow illuminating their tips. The Pancellent is used to view the LIG-Nanowise SMAL lens as it approaches the sample, so that it can be safely brought close up to the sample with little risk of collision as the Pancellent will display the distance between the SMAL lens and the sample as they get close.

It is quite incredible that a 1000x magnification microscope is used merely to make adjustments on our much more powerful Super Resolution microscope.

Each of the fibres visible in the image above is really multicore: separate strands each capable of carrying its own fibre optic signals, significantly increasing the data carrying capacity. I imagine it like a rope built from mutiple threads.

Another image shows our microscope looking down into a single strand of the multithread optical fibre. I am not displaying it here for customer confidentiality reasons.
