Why is a confocal microscope required?
1. After the efforts and improvements of our great predecessors, the optical microscope has reached the point of perfection. In fact, ordinary microscopes can provide us with beautiful microscopic images simply and quickly. However, an event that brought revolutionary innovation to this nearly perfect microscope world happened, which is the invention of the "laser scanning confocal microscope". The feature of this new type of microscope is that it adopts an optical system that only extracts image information on the surface where the focus is concentrated, and restores the obtained information in the image memory while changing the focus, so that complete 3D information can be obtained. A sharp image of intelligence. With this method, it is possible to easily obtain information about the surface shape that cannot be confirmed with a normal microscope. In addition, for ordinary optical microscopes, "increasing resolution" and "deepening depth of focus" are contradictory conditions, especially at high magnifications, this contradiction is more prominent, but in terms of confocal microscopes, this problem is easily solved.
