Researchers Shrink Confocal Laser Microscope

Susan M. Reiss

Scanning confocal laser microscopes are bulky and stay in one place. But a start-up company aims to find its success by miniaturizing these devices while still providing three-dimensional optical sectioning and high contrast. The battery-operated instrument, created by Jim Hang and Victor Lazarev at New Dimension Research, replaces alignment mechanisms and moving parts with a matrix-ad-dressable laser detector array that provides real-time imaging on one chip. The prototype includes a laptop computer, a vertical cavity surface- emitting laser detector array from Sandia National Laboratories...Read full article
