โฆ Synopsis
A novel non-scanning fluorescence confocal microscope arrangement that uses speckle illumination is described. The arrangement gives a full-field image without the need for a scanning system but requires averaging over a large number of independent frames. A method to reduce the number of frames to give an image of acceptable quality is investigated and computer simulation results are presented that demonstrate the effectiveness of this method. Experimental results are presented that show the confocal properties of depth discrimination and improved spatial resolution.
