[OpenSPIM] Fwd: my own system

[Nikita Vladimirov]

Hi, Juan,
What kind of system do you want? In many cases, you do not need any
simulation software to figure out desired properties and limitations of
your system. There are a few useful formulas, which describe Gaussian beams
- their thickness, divergence, and numerical aperture properties. See a pdf
attached. Pretty much any light sheet with gaussian intensity profile
should behave closely to these theoretical formulae. Let me know if you
have any questions.
Best,
Nikita
