Confocal Imaging

Confocal microscopy, an advanced imaging technique, revolutionizes the way we observe biological specimens by selectively focusing on specific depths within the sample. By eliminating out-of-focus light, confocal microscopy enhances resolution and enables three-dimensional reconstructions, providing researchers with unparalleled precision in studying cellular structures and dynamic processes.
