dictionary help| confocal --> confocal microscope | medical dictionary |
A microscope that allows the observer to visualise objects in a single plane of focus, thereby creating a sharper image (usually the objects are fluorescent molecules); a refinement of this microscope uses optical sectioning and a computer to record serial sections. This permits three-dimensional reconstruction.
