OS-PAM System characterization; (a) EPP graph over the whole imaging spectral range measured on the sample; (b) Characterisation of the lateral field of view (FOV) of the instrument. PAM signal collected whilst imaging a carbon fibre tape is plotted for each lateral position in the image. The plot corresponds to the amplitudes of the signal at the positions showed by the purple dashed line in the inset image. The size of the image mm; (c) Lateral resolution per wavelength measured by imaging a sharp edge (letter) on a USAF target, extracting the ESF and calculating the LSF. The size of the image is mm; (d) Axial resolution measured imaging carbon fibre tubes. The Axial resolution is defined by the FWHM of the Hilbert transform (Signal envelope).
