Confocal
microscopy is an optical
imaging technique used to increase micrograph contrast and/or to reconstruct
three-dimensional images by using a spatial pinhole to eliminate out-of-focus
light or flare in specimens that are thicker than the focal plane.[1] This
technique has gained popularity in the scientific and industrial communities.
Typical applications
include life
sciences and semiconductor inspection.
