The most widely used form of optical sectioning microscope today is the spot scanner. A single spot is focused into the sample and very rapidly moved across the field of view. The returning emission is filtered through a pinhole aperture to reject the out of focus light and the remaining light detected by Photon Multiplier Tubes (PMTs) to form an image.
The single spot approach is slower than parallel scanning techniques but offers great flexibility in terms of image size and imaging techniques, as well as offering the highest optical discrimination of all routine optical sectioning techniques.
Applications:
- Up to four color signals can be acquired in a (quasi-)simultaneous mode for multi fluorecence colocalization analyses in cell and molecular biology.
- Long, in depth 3D and 4D timelapse studies in developmental biology and in vivo examinations.
- Live cell imaging, Ion imaging in physiology, FRET, FRAP, and FLIP analysis of molecules, including photoactivation and photoconversion.
