When designing any optical system, an optical engineer needs to consider how illumination will be used: specifically, how the illumination could affect the way the image is created. If not carefully designed, some illumination systems may create a kind of...
Confocal microscopy is a type of microscopy that uses a focused laser beam to illuminate a sample and a pinhole aperture to eliminate out-of-focus light, resulting in high-resolution images with improved contrast and clarity. The name "confocal" refers to the use of a...
Microscopy is a fundamental technique used to analyze samples that are too small to be perceived without magnification. It is used in multiple sciences, from biology, medicine, chemistry to anthropology, and any science where small samples are...
