Abstract
Confocal microscopes are quickly becoming a de facto standard piece of equipment for the investigation of fluorescence distribution in microdomains, particularly in the medical sciences [1,2]. However, their complexity and the requirement for fast, highly linear scanners, high quality optical elements and at least one laser source means that the cost of such apparatus tends to be prohibitive.
