Automated spherical aberration correction in scanning confocal microscopy.
Mismatch between the refractive indexes of immersion media and glass coverslips introduces spherical aberrations in microscopes especially for high numerical aperture objectives. This contribution demonstrates an automated adjustment of the coverslip correction collar in scanning confocal microscopy to compensate for spherical aberrations due to coverslip thickness mismatch. With a motorized co...
متن کاملAdaptive aberration correction in a confocal microscope.
The main advantage of confocal microscopes over their conventional counterparts is their ability to optically "section" thick specimens; the thin image slices thus obtained can be used to reconstruct three-dimensional images, a capability which is particularly useful in biological applications. However, it is well known that the resolution and optical sectioning ability can be severely degraded...
متن کاملLaser Scanning Confocal Microscopy
Laser scanning confocal microscopy has become an invaluable tool for a wide range of investigations in the biological and medical sciences for imaging thin optical sections in living and fixed specimens ranging in thickness up to 100 micrometers. Modern instruments are equipped with 3-5 laser systems controlled by high-speed acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs), which allow very precise regula...
متن کاملConfocal laser scanning microscopy.
Many technological advancements of the past decade have contributed to improvements in the photon efficiency of the confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). The resolution of images from the new generation of CLSMs is approaching that achieved by the microscope itself because of continued development in digital imaging methods, laser technology and the availability of brighter and more photos...
متن کاملStrategies for the compensation of specimen-induced spherical aberration in confocal microscopy of skin.
We consider various strategies for confocal imaging of human skin which seek to reduce the effects of the specimen-induced aberrations. We calculate the spherical aberration introduced by the stratified structure of skin and show how the confocal signal is affected when attempting to image at various depths within the dermis. Using simple methods it is shown how images might be improved by comp...
