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,...

Main Methods:

Utilized the Self-mobile Intelligent Laser Scanning System (SILSS) for data acquisition.
Employed Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) for robust data denoising and accurate ellipse fitting.
Developed an algorithm for segmenting tunnel cross-sections and calculating ellipticity parameters for deformation analysis.

Main Results:

Demonstrated the accuracy of SILSS data compared to Leica P16.
Successfully extracted tunnel lining and analyzed deformation using ellipticity parameters.
Validated the effectiveness of the proposed method for monitoring various deformation indices.

Conclusions:

The novel approach provides a reliable and precise methodology for shield tunnel deformation analysis using MLS.
