Abstract
Confocal microscopy is an exciting new development in imaging. The same techniques that work for compact-disk recorders make it possible to increase resolution in microscopes and to discriminate so well against scattered light that out-of-focus planes do not spoil the contrast of the focal plane. That, in turn, permits optical sectioning in the transparent objects of biology and optical profiling in metallurgy.
