“…Since there was no post-data processing procedure, using a higher-speed CCD is a viable way to increase the frame rate in the proposed mechanical-scan free confocal microscope. Currently, high-speed CCDs with a frame rate of several MHz have been developed [13] and integrating this kind of CCD in our proposed system is helpful to increase the frame rate. For the sample viability, the sample cannot be illuminated with high-power light.…”

Mechanical Scan-Free Confocal Microscope by a Broadband Source and Two Balanced Wavelength-to-Space Transformations

et al. 2015

A new approach for performing confocal microscopy without no mechanical scanners was reported by a broadband light source, two similar 2-D wavelengthdispersive optical elements, and an uncooled charge-coupled device (CCD). In the new approach, 2-D sample structures were simultaneously and instantly mapped into the CCD by performing two balanced wavelength-to-space transformations and one spaceto-wavelength transformation. Compared with a traditional mechanical-scanner-based confocal microscope, no mechanical scanners or additional post dataprocessing were required in this new approach. The sectioned images are directly shown in the CCD.The demonstrated balanced wavelength-encoded confocal microscope has a simple configuration and shows great potential for high imaging speed. It has the advantage of miniaturized packaging and other applications outside of the laboratory as well.
