Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy01:16

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

21.6K
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,...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

14.7K
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study presents a new zonal wavefront sensor using a ferroelectric spatial light modulator (FLCSLM) for enhanced spatial resolution. The FLCSLM enables rapid pattern display and simultaneous focal spot capture, ideal for measuring fast wavefront changes.
