Abstract

A lens assembly, for use in microscopy imaging of a sample in a cryogenic environment, is described. A solid immersion lens which has a planar surface for accepting a sample for imaging is mounted within an aperture provided through the plane of a planar mount. The microscopy imaging may include using super-resolution optical imaging techniques such as single molecule localisation techniques.
