We calculate the 3D vectorial optical transfer function directly from the vectorial pupil function, without making the paraxial assumption nor assuming radially symmetric pupils. Our model uses a single autocorrelation integral with Cartesian pupil co-ordinates to calculate the transfer function. Results for Herschel and aplanatic systems are presented. We discuss the meaning and application of a vectorial transfer function as a tool for analysing high aperture incoherent microscopy modes including fluorescence and transmission.
