Laser 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 کاملSignal and Noise Modeling in Confocal Laser Scanning Fluorescence Microscopy
Fluorescence confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) has revolutionized imaging of subcellular structures in biomedical research by enabling the acquisition of 3D time-series of fluorescently-tagged proteins in living cells, hence forming the basis for an automated quantification of their morphological and dynamic characteristics. Due to the inherently weak fluorescence, CLSM images exhibit a...
متن کاملNon-scanning Fluorescence Confocal Microscopy using Laser Speckle Illumination
Confocal scanning microscopy (CSM) is a much used and advantageous form of microscopy. Although CSM is superior to conventional microscopy in many respects, a major disadvantage is the complexity of the scanning process and the sometimes long time to perform the scan. In this thesis a novel non-scanning fluorescence confocal microscopy is investigated. The method uses a random timevarying speck...
متن کاملConfocal Scanning Laser Microscopy of Polymer Coatings
A new nondestructive technique, confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM), is described which is used to characterize the topography and morphology of polymer coatings. The topography of the coating can be determined even when the coating is completely opaque. When the coating is not completely opaque, CSLM has the distinct advantage of also being able to distinguish between the coating surface...
