SCANNING CONFOCAL OPTICAL MICROSCOPE

摘要

A scanning confocal optical microscope using a Nipkow disc (21) having a plurality of pinholes to project light and an objective lens (26) to receive the light and illuminate points on an object to be viewed. Rotation of the disc scans the points across the object. The object is viewed by viewing the reflected light focused on the pinholes by the objective lens (26).
