confocal microscope [¦kän‚fō·kəl ′mī·krə‚skōp]

(biophysics)

A microscope that creates high-resolution images of very small objects by using a condenser lens to focus the illuminating light from a point source into a very small diffraction-limited spot within the specimen, and an objective lens to focus the light emitted from that spot onto a small pinhole in an opaque screen.

New miniature, hand-held microscope easily identifies brain tumours by Asian News International Pritchard-Gordon said: "This fantastic figure will be used to refurbish the laboratory the confocal microscope is housed in. Big cheque for Newmarket charity by The Racing Post (London, England) In using a traditional confocal microscope, images are acquired after adjusting and fixing the diameter of the emission pinhole aperture according to the specimen and instrument conditions.
