Size of the detector in confocal imaging systems

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We consider the role of the detector size in the imaging of confocal systems. We introduce a criterion for detector size to give true confocal operation and show that the lateral resolution is considerably more sensitive to detector size than is the depth-discrimination or optical-sectioning property.
