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.

Compound Microscopy increases the details to the naked eye. It allows you to see things 1000 times there original size.

What is the difference between epi-fluorescence microscopy and confocal microscopy in terms of working principle and imaging advantages?
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
What are the different types of microscopes?
There are many. Simple microscope, compound microscope, light microscope, scanning electron microscope, Transmission Electron Microscope, Dissection microscope, etc,but all together there are about 20 different types of microscopes.
Different types of microscopes?
there are seven type of microscope.they are (1)Electron microscope (2)compound microscope (3)light microscope (4)scanning electron microscope (5)transmission electron microscope (6)dark field microscope and (7)light field microscope
How many microscope are there?
There are six different types of microscopes used in the life science. There is the light microscope, phase contrast microscope, fluorescent microscope, electron microscope, atomic force microscope, and scanning tunnelling microscope.
What microscope is used to discover cells?
Light microscope were used to discover cells
Who invented the confocal microscope?
JFK
Who discovered the Confocal Microscope?
kaufman
When was the confocal microscope invented?
in the 1980's
What is confocal microscope?
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. cited works: wikipedia
What is different types of microscope?
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.
How does a confocal laser microscope work?
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.
What is the benefit of using a laser scanning confocal microscope?
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.
What are the various KINDS of a microscope?
Stereomicroscope, Compound Microscope, Phase-contrast microscope, electron microscope, Scanning-electron microscope, Transmission electron microscope, Confocal-scanning microscope. THESE ARE JUST SOME. :)
What are the types of microscopes uses and advatanges?
Compound ,Dissection or Stereoscope, Confocal Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM).
When are different intensities of light used in a microscope?
when are different intensities of light used in compound microscope
What Microscope that gives 3-D image?
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.
What are two different types of microscope's?
Light microscope Electron microscope
