published by the Olympus America, Inc. and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
This item is an interactive Java simulation relating to TIRF (total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy).  It depicts a configuration known as numerical aperture immersion, which is used in place of a prism to produce excitation at supercritical angles.  Users may vary the numerical aperture to increase or decrease incident angles.  This item is part of a larger collection of tutorials and curriculum support on TIRF and fluorescence  microscopy.

Please note that this resource requires Java.
