Image for Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy

Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy

Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy is an advanced imaging technique that uses a focused laser beam to scan a sample point-by-point. It captures high-resolution, detailed images of thin layers within a specimen by filtering out out-of-focus light, producing sharp, clear images. This method allows scientists to view the structure of biological tissues or materials in three dimensions, layer by layer. It is widely used in medical research, cell biology, and materials science to study delicate details with great precision while minimizing surface glare and background noise.
