I built a 3D printed, scanning laser confocal microscope so I could collect 3D surface topology and profilometry data! The microscope stage is based on an OpenFlexure "Delta" stage, and the ...

By integrating confocal scanning with structural illumination super-resolution, this approach allows researchers to achieve superior imaging capabilities essential for studying living tissues.

This paper proposes the Multi-Confocal Image Scanning Microscopy (MC-ISM) technique, which generates multi-focal illumination through a pinhole array.

Figure 1 Confocal (logarithmic greyscale) and non-confocal quadrant-detection (Q1–Q4) images recorded simultaneously from the right eye of a 31-year-old X-linked retinitis pigmentosa patient. Light ...

Confocal methods try to reduce this with the introduction of a confocal pinhole to reject the out-of-focus background but limit the imaging depth. In two-photon microscopy, as only the most intense ...

Using a confocal microscope to determine if newly generated cells in the rat brain are neurons, new cells (red dot) are marked with “BrdU” and neurons (green dot) are markered with “NeuN.” These three ...

We report a scheme for a detector system of confocal microscopes. In our scheme the pinhole and the large area detector are subtituted by a CCD camera. The numerical integration of the intensities ...

Confocal microscopy is an optical imaging technique that relies on spatial filtering methods to remove contributions to the image from regions of the sample that are not immediately in focus.
