Abstract:In confocal microscopy, the level of the detected intensity is low, which reduces the contrast of the images. We propose a reflecting optical system to improve the detected intensity. The result of the optimal design is presented and the performance of the resulting reflecting optical system is evaluated. A numerical simulation of the effect of the reflecting optical system on the total system performance is also presented. A standard specimen is imaged to show the benefits of the proposed reflecting optical s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
