Abstract
We have derived an analytical expression for the field components in the focal region of a high-numerical-aperture imaging system using the so-called extended Nijboer-Zernike diffraction theory. It will be shown that the transmission function of the imaging system and its aberrations can be derived from the through-focus intensity map.
