 ASI and Special Optics have co-developed two [[http://asiimaging.com/docs/cleared_tissue_objective|multi-immersion objectives]] designed originally for cleared tissue (but useful in any media) suitable for the diSPIM geometry.  The 54-10-12 with nominal NA 0.4 can image cleared tissue up to 5 mm deep in slab form or within a 12 mm spherical envelope, and the 54-12-8 with nominal NA 0.7 can go 2 mm deep or 10 mm spherical envelope. ASI and Special Optics have co-developed two [[http://asiimaging.com/docs/cleared_tissue_objective|multi-immersion objectives]] designed originally for cleared tissue (but useful in any media) suitable for the diSPIM geometry.  The 54-10-12 with nominal NA 0.4 can image cleared tissue up to 5 mm deep in slab form or within a 12 mm spherical envelope, and the 54-12-8 with nominal NA 0.7 can go 2 mm deep or 10 mm spherical envelope.
  
-Single-sided systems (iSPIM) have much more flexibility because the illumination objective can be a low-NA long-WD objective. A popular pair for high-resolution imaging is the same objective pair as used on the lattice light sheet, specifically the Nikon 25x/1.1 objective paired with Special Optics 54-10-7 which is 28.6x/0.66.+Single-sided systems (iSPIM) have much more flexibility because the illumination objective can be a low-NA long-WD objective.

-Like all infinity microscopes, the magnification is given by the ratio of the effective focal lengths of tube lens and objective.  The captured fField of view is just camera sensor size divided by magnification.  The sensor size is readily available.  The most common sCMOS cameras have 6.5um square pixels and 2048x2048 pixels, but there are a wide variety of cameras.  Some cameras have 11um pixels which usually require increasing magnification in order to sample sufficiently for diffraction-limited resolution.+Like all infinity microscopes, the magnification is given by the ratio of the effective focal lengths of tube lens and objective.  The captured field of view is just camera sensor size divided by magnification.  The sensor size is readily available.  The most common sCMOS cameras have 6.5um square pixels and 2048x2048 pixels, but there are a wide variety of cameras.  Some cameras have 11um pixels which usually require increasing magnification in order to sample sufficiently for diffraction-limited resolution.
  
 By default ASI uses 200 mm focal length tube lenses (Nikon glass) but a offers a [[http://asiimaging.com/docs/mim_ramm_vts#mim_tube_lenses_and_assemblies|variety of tube lenses]] so the magnification can easily be chosen.  Typical reasons to adjust the magnification include to adequately sample on the camera (for sensors with larger pixels or using low-mag high-NA objectives) or to increase the field of view.  When decreasing magnification, beware of the objective's intrinsic field of view (usually specified by field number, of vignetting (see http://asiimaging.com/docs/mim_ramm_vts#infinity_space_limitations), and ensure that the spatial sampling on the camera is sufficient (see https://asiimaging.com/docs/infinity_microscope_basics#spatial_sampling). By default ASI uses 200 mm focal length tube lenses (Nikon glass) but a offers a [[http://asiimaging.com/docs/mim_ramm_vts#mim_tube_lenses_and_assemblies|variety of tube lenses]] so the magnification can easily be chosen.  Typical reasons to adjust the magnification include to adequately sample on the camera (for sensors with larger pixels or using low-mag high-NA objectives) or to increase the field of view.  When decreasing magnification, beware of the objective's intrinsic field of view (usually specified by field number, of vignetting (see http://asiimaging.com/docs/mim_ramm_vts#infinity_space_limitations), and ensure that the spatial sampling on the camera is sufficient (see https://asiimaging.com/docs/infinity_microscope_basics#spatial_sampling).

-For traditional light sheet microscopy with two orthogonal objective lenses, the objectives have to be able to co-focus before they mechanically bump ((For low-NA illumination you can sometimes extend the working distance a bit of the illumination objective by introducing diverging rays into its back aperture, but this is usually only a small win.)).  Regardless of working distance, the most important/fundamental factor in whether or not two objectives can be co-focused orthogonally is simply whether the sum of their mechanical half-angles is less than 90° ((However if the working distance of one is very long then perhaps they can co-focus with only use of the optical angle.)).  For any objective lens, the mechanical angle must be at least as big as the optical angle, i.e. it must be at least big enough to capture the cone of rays corresponding to its numerical aperture (NA) across the entire field of view.  The mechanical angle is computed as arctan(dia/2/WD) where dia is the diameter of the first surface (assuming the rest of the objective lens fall inside the line from the focal plane to this first surface as is usually the case).  The optical (half) angle is computed as arcsin(NA/RI) where RI is the medium refractive index.  Some objective lenses have mechanical angles only barely larger than the lower bound optical angle, but others are much less efficient in a mechanical/bulkiness sense.+For traditional light sheet microscopy with two orthogonal objective lenses, the objectives have to be able to co-focus before they mechanically bump ((For low-NA illumination you can sometimes extend the working distance a bit of the illumination objective by introducing diverging rays into its back aperture, but this is usually only a small win.)).  The question of whether or not two objectives can be co-focused orthogonally can usually be simplified to whether the sum of their mechanical half-angles is less than 90°((if the working distance of one is very long then perhaps they can co-focus with only use of the optical angle.)).  For any objective lens, the mechanical angle must be at least as large as the optical angle, i.e. it must be big enough to capture the cone of rays corresponding to its numerical aperture (NA) across the entire field of view.  The mechanical angle is computed as arctan(dia/2/WD) where dia is the diameter of the first surface (assuming the rest of the objective lens fall inside the line from the focal plane to this first surface as is usually the case).  The optical half-angle is computed as arcsin(NA/RI) where RI is the medium refractive index.  Some objective lenses have mechanical angles only barely larger than the lower bound optical angle, but others are much less efficient in a mechanical/bulkiness sense.

 +==== Working Distance and Imaging Depth ====
 +
 +The imaging depth of a pair of co-focused objectives into a flat pancake-like sample without hitting the top of the sample is proportional to the residual mechanical angle that the two objectives leave and also proportional to their working distance, with minor factor related to the relative mechanical angle/overall rotation.  There may also be second-order mechanical effects and such combinations should be modeled.  ASI has drawings of many different objective pairs and can prepare others.  Please inquire.
