The Confocal Microscope
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 ...

The key part of a confocal microscope is the pinhole placed in front of the detector at the confocal plane of the objective. Thanks to this pinhole, only light emitted from the small focal spot is ...

Application Note: Multiplex mode for the LSM 9 series with Airyscan 2: fast and gentle confocal super-resolution in large volumes
The use of a physical aperture (i.e., pinhole) and unitary detector (standard ... have now become the limiting factors for traditional confocal systems. With model systems and organisms getting ...

Application Note: Airyscan detection in multiphoton microscopy: super- resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratio beyond the confocal depth limit
By collecting the information of a pinhole-plane image in addition to a priori knowledge of the detection point spread function, the Airyscan detector increases both the spatial resolution and the ...
