Parameter determination and transformation for the focusing of dielectric microspheres illuminated by optical needle

Abstract By eliminating the spherical aberrations of microsphere we derived a simple but useful formula on the focusing of dielectric microsphere. On basis of this formula, not only can researchers determine the parameters of an optical microsphere system with super-resolution, but they can also per...
