ABSTRACT:
A collection optics arrangement integrating an objective lens and a solid immersion lens. An objective lens housing has an objective lens mounted inside. A solid immersion lens (SIL) housing is slidably mounted onto said objective lens housing, and a solid immersion lens is mounted onto the SIL housing. A spring imparts resilient force resisting the sliding of the solid immersion lens housing with respect to the objective lens housing.
