In-situ heating observations on microstructure relaxation of ultrafine-grained high-entropy alloys using neutron diffraction and laser-scanning confocal microscopy

Characterization of Coating Microstructure Using Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy

Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy

Laser scanning confocal microscopy has become an invaluable tool for a wide range of investigations in the biological and medical sciences for imaging thin optical sections in living and fixed specimens ranging in thickness up to 100 micrometers. Modern instruments are equipped with 3-5 laser systems controlled by high-speed acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs), which allow very precise regula...

Confocal laser scanning microscopy.

Many technological advancements of the past decade have contributed to improvements in the photon efficiency of the confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). The resolution of images from the new generation of CLSMs is approaching that achieved by the microscope itself because of continued development in digital imaging methods, laser technology and the availability of brighter and more photos...

Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy in Food Research: Some Observations

Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy (CSLM) has advantages over conven tional light microscopy and electron microscopy. In particular the possibility to perform optical section ing, allowing the disturbance free observation of the three-dimensional internal structure, offers new possibilities in microstructural studies of food sys tems. The technique is further considered to be very valuable in t...

Evaluation of Yogurt Microstructure Using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy and Image Analysis.

The microstructure of protein networks in yogurts defines important physical properties of the yogurt and hereby partly its quality. Imaging this protein network using confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) has shown good results, and CSLM has become a standard measuring technique for fermented dairy products. When studying such networks, hundreds of images can be obtained, and here image an...
