HISTORY OF CONFOCAL and SLC MICROSCOPY
The principle of confocal imaging was patented by Marvin Minsky in 1957
In 1978, Thomas and Christoph Cremer designed a laser scanning process

What is the Confocal
Microscopy?
is an optical imaging technique used to increase micrograph contrast and to reconstruct 3-D images by using a spatial pinhole to eliminate out-of-focus light or flare in specimens that are thicker than the focal plane
confocal microscope
![Page 5: H. Nur Halipçi-Fatih University](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54665af5af795969338b519e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
![Page 6: H. Nur Halipçi-Fatih University](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54665af5af795969338b519e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why does it called“CONFOCAL?”
•In contrast, a confocal microscope uses point illumination and a pinhole in an optically conjugate plane in front of the detector to eliminate out-of-focus information. Also the pinhole is conjugate to the focal point of the lens. – that’s why it’s called “confocal”
•In a conventional fluorescence microscope, the entire specimen is flooded in light from a light source. So, all parts of the specimen throughout the optical path will be excited.
![Page 7: H. Nur Halipçi-Fatih University](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54665af5af795969338b519e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WHAT’S THE PRINCIBLE?
•The principle of confocal microscopy is the elimination of out of focus light, thus producing a high z-resolution image.
• Confocal fluorescence microscopes achieve this, via two principal mechanisms.
![Page 8: H. Nur Halipçi-Fatih University](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54665af5af795969338b519e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
First, incident light is focused to a particular point within the specimen by passing it through a very small aperture, the first pinhole. The focusing helps to limit the excitation of fluorophores above and below the plane of focus.
![Page 9: H. Nur Halipçi-Fatih University](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54665af5af795969338b519e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Second, any emission that is above or below the plane of focus is blocked from reaching the detector by passing it through a second pinhole. The specimen is placed in the light-path at a conjugate focal plane such that movement in the vertical (z) direction keeps the focus at a fixed distance from the objective, and effectively scans in layers through the specimen.
![Page 10: H. Nur Halipçi-Fatih University](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54665af5af795969338b519e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
WHAT’S THE FEATURE?
•The key feature of confocal microscopy is its ability to produce in-focus images of thick specimens, a process known as optical sectioning..
• Images are taken point-by-point and reconstructed with a computer, rather than projected through an eyepiece.
![Page 11: H. Nur Halipçi-Fatih University](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54665af5af795969338b519e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Development of modern confocal microscopes has been accelerated by new advances in computer and storage technology, laser systems, detectors, interference filters, and fluorophores for highly specific targets.

Scanning Laser Confocal Microscopy (SLCM)
is a valuable tool for obtaining high resolution images and 3-D reconstructions.
![Page 16: H. Nur Halipçi-Fatih University](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54665af5af795969338b519e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HOW DOES IT WORK?
• A laser is used to provide the excitation light (in order to get very high intensities). The laser light (blue) reflects off a dichroic mirror. From there, the laser hits two mirrors which are mounted on motors; these mirrors scan the laser across the sample.
![Page 17: H. Nur Halipçi-Fatih University](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54665af5af795969338b519e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
…..how does it work?
•Dye in the sample fluoresces, and the emitted light (green) gets descanned by the same mirrors that are used to scan the excitation light (blue) from the laser. The emitted light passes through the dichroic and is focused onto the pinhole. The light that passes through the pinhole is measured by a detector.
![Page 18: H. Nur Halipçi-Fatih University](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54665af5af795969338b519e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
…..how does it work?
•So, there never is a complete image of the sample -- at any given instant, only one point of the sample is observed. The detector is attached to a computer which builds up the image, one pixel at a time

• In a laser scanning confocal microscope a laser beam passes a light source aperture
and then is focused by an objective lens into a small focal volume within a fluorescent specimen.
Differences of Fluorescent and Confocal Microscopy
• Confocal microscopy is a form of fluorescent microscopy
BUT it uses a computer, rather than projected through an
eyepiece.
gives higher resolution
laser light source is used to excite the fluorophore resulting in enhanced contrast.

-Advantages-Why is Confocal Microscopy Better?
1. More Color PossibilitiesBecause the images are detected by a computer rather than by eye, it is possible to detect more color differences.
![Page 33: H. Nur Halipçi-Fatih University](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54665af5af795969338b519e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Why is Confocal Microscopy Better?
2. Less Cross Talk If the fluorochromes have distinct excitation spectra, the fluorochromes can be excited sequentially using one excitation wavelength at a time. This is only possible with confocal systems that offer the multitracking feature.
