Components of a Laser Scanning Microscope (Pinhole) Detector Laser Beam splitter Scanner Objective Sample
Single Photon Excitation (Confocal Microscope) 1-Photon Focal Region Objective • Out of Focus excitation • Pinhole provides optical sectioning Pinhole Detector
Multiphoton Excitation (Nonlinear Excitation, NLO) 2-Photon 1-Photon Focal Region • 2 photons required for excitation Objective • No out-of-focus excitation • No pinhole required Pinhole • Scattered light is detected Detector
Non-Descanned Detection Pinhole Descanned Detection • No movement of light on detector Scanner Non-Descanned Detection Sample • Light moves on detector • Light moves on sample
