Record Type: concept
confocal microscopy (fluorescence microscopy, microscopy, ... Processes and Techniques (hierarchy name))

 

Note: A fluorescence microscopy technique that obtains higher resolution images of very small objects than conventional optical microscopy. Rather than flooding the entire specimen evenly with light, which causes simultaneous excitation of all parts and results in a large out-of focus background part captured by the microscope's photodetector, confocal microscopy uses a condenser lens to focus the light from a pin-hole onto a very small spot on the plane of the specimen. An optical system rapidly scans the object in synchrony with the illumination. The reflected and emitted rays entering the collector lens are focused onto a plate which generates a signal that forms a display of the image.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Een vorm van fluorescentiemicroscopie die beelden van zeer kleine objecten met een hogere resolutie oplevert dan de conventionele optische microscopie. In plaats van het gehele monster gelijkmatig te belichten, waardoor alle delen van het monster tegelijkertijd geëxciteerd worden en er dus een brede achtergrond zonder focus wordt opgevangen door de fotodetector van de microscoop, wordt er in de confocale microscopie gebruik gemaakt van een condenseerlens om het licht te richten op een zeer kleine plek op het vlak van het monster. Een optisch systeem scant het object snel, synchroon met de verlichting. De gereflecteerde en uitgezonden stralen die door de lens worden opgevangen, worden gericht op een plaatje, dat een signaal genereert waaruit het beeld gevormd wordt.
