sciencenote: 1ST PLACE 2016 PHOTOMICROGRAPHY COMPETITION Dr. Oscar Ruiz The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, Texas, USA Subject Matter: Four-day-old zebrafish embryo Magnification10xTechnique: Confocal Confocal microscopy, most frequently confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), is an optical imaging technique for increasing optical resolution and contrast of a micrographby means of using a spatial pinhole to block out-of-focus light in image formation.[1]Capturing multiple two-dimensional images at different depths in a sample enables the reconstruction of three-dimensional structures (a process known as optical sectioning) within an object. This technique is used extensively in the scientific and industrial communities and typical applications are in life sciences, semiconductor inspection and materials science.-wikipedia- -- source link
