PI Namiways: China-made Series
Confocal microscopy is used in diagnostics, in ophthalmology, and dermatology, for example, to produce virtual sections through the tissue structure, or to detect the structure of the sample surface through the shift of the focal plane.
Piezo-based drive solutions position the objective at a distance of less than 1 µm on the different focal planes. The individual images are then superimposed to create a high-resolution 3-D image.
