What is the aim of the review? The aim of this Cochrane Review was to find out how accurate reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is on its own or compared to inspection of a skin lesion with the ...

An optical microscope allows you to see objects or details that are too small for the naked eye to detect due to their low resolution. The principle behind the optical microscope The optical ...

Confocal Microscopy: When Is it Helpful to Diagnose Corneal and Conjunctival Disease?

Confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM) is widely used to make high-resolution cellular images but requires fluorescent staining, which poses risks of photobleaching or phototoxicity, potentially ...

All the latest science news on confocal microscope from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Confocal microscopes work to block out of focus light by utilising the pinhole and therefore generate clearer images than those from a widefield system. Confocals are either laser scanning confocal ...

By integrating confocal scanning with structural illumination super-resolution, this approach allows researchers to achieve superior imaging capabilities essential for studying living tissues.
