Confocal Laser
|
Confocal technology employs a laser to deliver concentrated light to a specimen that is reflected back through the optical path to a small aperture, the confocal pinhole, and then to image sensor. The pinhole allows "optical sections" to be created that can be positioned anywhere within a specimen to provide a sharp image with a significantly higher resolution than a conventional microscope. Confocal laser systems can combine multiple optical sections to produce a 3-dimensional image. Confocal laser microscopy is widely applied in imaging biological systems and is also useful with semiconductor, metallurgical and mineral substances. Products & Services
