Spinning-disk confocal microscopy is an imaging technique that combines the out-of-focus light rejection of confocal microscopy with the high sensitivity of wide-field microscopy.

Jan 1, 2014 · The central concept of spinning-disk confocal microscopy (SDCM), first conceived by Petrán (Petrán, Hadravsk, Egger, & Galambos, 1968), is that an array of illuminated …

Spinning disk confocal microscopy overcomes several weaknesses of conventional fluorescence microscopy, including removing out of focus light and using optical sectioning to construct 3 …

Rather than a single pinhole, a spinning disk confocal microscope (SDCM) has hundreds of pinholes arranged in spirals on an opaque disk, which rotates at high speeds. When spun, the …

Spinning disk confocal microscopy (SDCM) is a versatile and widely-used imaging technique in biology due to its ability to perform fast, 3D imaging of live cells.

As an alternative, some researchers use spinning disk confocal systems, which offer much greater light throughput but somewhat diminished confocality. These systems use a rotating …

The slit and spinning disk confocal microscopes provide a boost to the imaging speed at the cost of photobleaching. There are now confocal microscopes equipped with resonant scanners, …

This study demonstrates the great potential of spinning disk confocal microscopy for the investigation of fetal membrane anatomy and provides a tissue processing protocol for future …

Jul 15, 2024 · Spinning disk confocal microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that combines high-speed acquisition with the ability to capture high-resolution, three-dimensional images of …

Here, we briefly introduce the SDCM technique, discuss its strengths and weaknesses against LSCM, and update the reader on some recent developments in SDCM technology that …

Jun 27, 2018 · Spinning disk confocal microscopy is a particular configuration of confocal microscopy that is able to imaging at a faster rate. For this reason spinning disk confocal …

We describe an inexpensive do-it-yourself (DIY) spinning disk confocal microscope (SDCM) module based on a commercially fabricated chromium photomask that can be added on to a …

There are many methods for producing optical sections, of which the confocal optical system is just one. This article reviews these methods and describes a number of convenient methods of …

In the first, a single point source-point detector confocal system is used together with a scanning mechanism designed to scan a single focused spot of light with respect to the specimen. In the …

Unlike the confocal laser-scanning microscope, which takes several seconds to generate a single image (and several minutes to generate a high contrast, high resolution series of images), a …
