CONFOCAL MICROSCOPE WITH APERTURE CORRELATION

摘要

The invention relates to a confocal microscope and to a method for determining the topography of a sample using correlative spinning disc spectroscopy. A stage and/or a focus drive is moved vertically in order to determine the topography while first and second images of a sample placed on the stage are captured in an alternating manner. A vertical focus position is stored as metadata for each image. Two first or second images are interpolated into an intermediate image, and a confocal image for a specific vertical position is generated by calculating the intermediate image with the second or first image at the position.
