Microscopes, Scanning Laser
Definition : Microscopes with a monochromatic light source that is delivered from a scanning laser. The performance of scanning-laser microscopes is better in terms of optical resolution, depth contrast, and sensitivity of detection than conventional light microscopy. Scanning-laser microscope images are displayed on high-resolution video monitors. Two different techniques are used in scanning laser microscopes: using ultrasound waves and using a focused point of laser light. Most of these microscopes are equipped with video capabilities and are computer controlled.
