| Working principle: | |
| Confocal microscopes work on the principle of point excitation in the specimen. The basic principle of confocal microscopy is that the illumination and detection optics are focused on the same diffraction‐limited spot, which is moved over the sample to build the complete image on the detector. They provide a high-resolution image with all areas in focus throughout the field of view, even for a sample having dents and protrusions on the surface. They enable the non-contact non-destructive measurement of three-dimensional shapes. | |
