Abstract

The imaging properties of a confocal reflection microscope with one narrow annular lens and one circular lens are investigated. By altering the radius of the circular lens between the inner and the outer radius of the annular lens, the difference in the coherent transfer functions results in different imaging properties. The results may explain the previously reported phenomenon of observation of spatial frequency harmonics in the imaging of a grating object.
