Hello, I would like to use the miniscope to image at 90 deg with a prism at the tip of the GRIN lens. To do so I need the Pitch to be below 0.25 (or above 0.5, I guess) so that the focal point is outside the prism and not at the tip of the GRIN lens. But to know the exact pitch I need, I guess I would need to run a light path simulation. Thus, Where can I find the distances between the different optical component in the miniscope?

Did anyone else tried such design?

Thanks

me again, I worked on the problem, and realized that in fact I don't need to change anything, the achromatic lens and the range of movement of the sensor slider give a large enough range of focal point as is, so I guess I can simply glue a prism at the tip of my GRIN lens and it should be ok.

I'll let you know how it works out as soon as I have preliminary results.
