Confocal microscopy

This is the page on the glossary term Confocal microscopy which is relevant on dermoscopedia. See also the list of terms.

Description

is an optical imaging technique for increasing optical resolution and contrast of a micrograph by means of using a spatial pinhole to block out-of-focus light in image formation.[1] Capturing multiple two-dimensional images at different depths in a sample enables the reconstruction of three-dimensional structures (a process known as optical sectioning) within an object.
