Abstract

A scanning confocal microscope uses a focused line of light to scan an objective. The line of light for scanning is created by an appropriate source. A scanning device (12) produces a scanning effect with the light. The scanning, focused line of light is directed an objective, such as tissue, whose image is magnified by a microscope (14, 16, 18, 20). The line of light is scanned across the specimen by the scanning device so rapidly that the image it produces appears as if it were viewed directly. The rapid scan rate obviates the need for synchronization between the scanning device and image recorder (26).
