Table 1. The measurement of RI of standard samplesa.

  Meas Ref Err
Water 1.336 ± 0.003 1.329 [29] ~1%
Air 1.005 ± 0.003 1.0003 [30] ~1%
Oil 1.515 ± 0.004 1.5151 ~1%
Cover glass 1.576 ± 0.002 1.56 ± 0.012

       aMeas: measured value (average ± standard deviation); Ref: reference value; Err: error with respect to the reference value. The error has already taken into account the standard deviation. 1: From Nikon type A immersion oil specification (23°C). 2: The RI of cover glass is measured using the focus tracking method [1].
