Confocal Microscope Definition:
A light microscope in which monochromatic laser derived light scans across the specimen at a specific level. Stray light from above and below the plane of focus is blocked out to give an image with excellent contrast and resolution.

Confocal Microscope Notes:
Confocal Microscope is a light microscope, which provides an increased optical resolution and contrast of a micrograph. It uses an optical imaging technique. It consists of a spatial pinhole to block out-of-focus light in image formation. Since it can creates 3D images, it is a major improvement from conventional light microscopy.
