Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...

Published on: October 26, 2019

Performed experiments to measure pyroelectric signals and domain boundary variations.

Main Results:

Achieved inspection of a 100 x 100-microm TGS area in seconds with a 2-microm resolution limit.
Simulated pyroelectric signals closely matched experimental observations.
Demonstrated that surface layer inspection depth is controlled by chopping frequency (e.g., 0.64 microm at 200 kHz).

Conclusions:

The pyroelectric probe technique offers efficient and precise characterization of TGS crystal domains.
Mathematical modeling provides a reliable framework for understanding pyroelectric phenomena in domains.
Optimizing laser spot size and chopping frequency can further enhance resolution.
