Intermediate Optics in Nipkow Disk Microscopes

  • Chapter
Handbook of Biological Confocal Microscopy

Abstract

The confocal laser scanning scanning optical microscope (LSCM) has the major advantages that it yields a very short depth-of-focus, its transverse definition and the contrast of the image are better than with a standard microscope, the device is very well-suited for optical cross-sectioning, and with the use of a laser beam, the intensity of illumination can be very high. At the same time, it is possible to choose the wavelength of the illumination very easily [Wilson et al, 1984].
