OBS

Reported in this paper is, to our knowledge, the first theoretical investigation of three-dimensional (3D) imaging properties in a confocal microscope under ultra-short-pulse illumination. Time-resolved, time-averaged and interferometric imaging modes in reflection and transmission systems are considered. The concept of the 3D transfer function is used to understand the imaging performance of the system.

Key term(s)
  • three-dimensional imaging confocal microscope
  • three-dimensional image confocal microscope

DEF

Microscope à lumière réfléchie, confocal dans la mesure où l'objectif est utilisé deux fois, associé à un système de traitement des images dont l'objectif est mobile et à un logiciel mis au point pour que le stockage de trois images soit suffisant.

CONT

Un microscope confocal tridimensionnel : le nom est un peu barbare, mais ce nouvel appareil proposé par la société Tracor devrait intéresser nombre de scientifiques. Par rapport à un microscope optique classique, il offre en effet de meilleurs contrastes.

OBS

Contrairement à la microscopie électronique, les échantillons ne nécessitent aucune préparation particulière et les observations in vivo sont réalisables.
