Confocal microscopy

Confocal microscopy is an optical imaging technique, having a pinhole between specimen and detector is used to select information from a single focal plane, producing a focussed three-dimensional optical slice through the specimen. The concept of confocal microscopy; including shallow depth of field, elimination of out-of-focus glare, and the ability to collect serial optical sections from thick specimens.
