Confocal microscopy, most frequently confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), is an optical imaging technique for increasing optical resolution and contrast of a micrograph by means of adding a spatial pinhole placed at the confocal plane of the lens to eliminate out-of-focus light.

There are many benefits associated with using a laser scanning confocal microscope. The main advantage is to obtain pictures one would not normally be able to receive at such depths.

There are at least two types of microscope that can give 3D images. Confocal microscopes that use lasers to illuminate the object and scanning electron microcopes (SEM) that use an electron beam. A SEM can give better magnification than confocal but confocal can image live moving subjects. In SEM the object of intrest must be coated with gold so only dead things can be imaged.
Confocal microscopes have scanning, and scan 1 point, where light has a whole feild of vision. Confocal laser scanning can get you a 3D image like tomography. you can scan a very thick sample and the microscope used is called a confocal microscope which uses a laser.
one Major difference is confocal microscopy has confocality which means it reduces the background signal which is not presented in conventional fluorescence microscope usually termed as epifluorescence microscope
A confocal laster microscope works by using optical sectioning, whereby the laser acquires different images and they are put back together to produce one image on a computer. This process enables a much more intricate finished image.
There are several type of microscopes, mainly, the one that we use in lab is a simple light microscope or a compound microscope. Then we have the phase contrast microscope, fluorescent microscope, electron microscope (transmission electron microscope [TEM] and scanning electron microscope [SEM]), confocal microscope and even dissection microscope the one which we use during dissections.
