Experimental observations of the depth-discrimination properties of scanning microscopes
Experimental observations of the depth-discrimination properties of scanning microscopes is a scholarly work by Colin James Richard Sheppard, published in 1981 in ''Optics Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include Confocal, optics, fluorescence microscope, Optical sectioning, microscopy, depth of focus, autofocus, Light sheet fluorescence microscopy, focus, scanning confocal electron microscopy, photoacoustic imaging, optical microscope, confocal microscopy, 4Pi microscope, materials science, cardinal point, and microscope. The authors present experimental confirmation of the predicted improved depth-discrimination properties of confocal microscopy in which detail outside the focal plane is rejected from the image.
