confocal imaging
Confocal imaging is a technique used in microscopy to create highly detailed and focused images of thin sections of a specimen by eliminating out-of-focus light. This is achieved by using a pinhole aperture to only detect light from a specific focal plane, resulting in improved resolution and clearer images.
