In confocal microscopy a laser beam is focused ... is omitted from the final image by the use of a pinhole aperture that prevents light scattered from higher angles from passing through.

The first major benefit of confocal microscopes is the level of detail which ... Before this light can be received by the photomultiplier, the light is screened through a pinhole aperture, while other ...

To counter this problem, Minsky placed a pinhole aperture at the emission side of the objective. Conjugated with the focal point of the lens (hence, "confocal"), the pinhole allowed in-focus light to ...

CSU-W1 makes it possible to see much deeper into thick samples because of the greatly decreased pinhole crosstalk. Phase contrast and other confocal ... CSU-W1's variable aperture helps reduce ...

The system was constructed around a conventional RS unit, which was modified so that the light from the proximal end of the collection fibers was focused onto a 150 micron pinhole which acted as the ...

The reflected (fluorescence) light is often collected with the same objective and then focused into a pinhole in front of the detector ... an objective with a high numerical aperture (NA). With the ...

The microscope stage is based on an OpenFlexure "Delta" stage, and the confocal optics are constructed with a 3D printed body, some lenses, a 405nm laser, pinhole and photodiode. The microscope is ...

A seven-position pinhole/slit aperture allows the Opterra to be optimized for varying objective lens magnifications that results in the ability to image deeper into tissue versus conventional disk ...
