Confocal scanning microscope for nuclear photoemulsion

Confocal Scanner for Vertical Particle Tracks in the Nuclear Photoemulsion

A confocal scanner for selective observation of the vertical particle tracks in the nuclear photoemulsion is described. The particle track being searched for is imaging at an angle of 45◦ with respect to the optical axis of the system. The confocal scanner is provided with a new optical element, an ®image orthogonalizator ̄, by means of which the extended image of the inclined vertical particle ...

The Scanning Confocal Electron Microscope

The Scanning Confocal Electron Microscope, is an instrument which permits the observation and characterization of sub-surface structures of thick, optically opaque materials at nanometer level resolutions. The instrument merges the capabilities of the scanning, transmission and x-ray microscopes, and achieves unprecedented resolutions in optically dense materials, by implementing the technology...

Dual-wedge scanning confocal reflectance microscope.

A confocal reflectance microscope has been developed that incorporates a dual-wedge scanner to reduce the size of the device relative to current raster scanning instruments. The scanner is implemented with two prisms that are rotated about the optical axis. Spiral and rosette scans are performed by rotating the prisms in the same or opposite directions, respectively. Experimental measurements s...

A custom confocal and two-photon digital laser scanning microscope.

We describe a custom one-photon (confocal) and two-photon all-digital (photon counting) laser scanning microscope. The confocal component uses two avalanche photodiodes (APDs) as the fluorescence detector to achieve high sensitivity and to overcome the limited photon counting rate of a single APD ( approximately 5 MHz). The confocal component is approximately nine times more efficient than our ...
