✦ Synopsis
Reported in this paper are the experimental results on fibre-optical confocal scanning microscopy (FOCSM). We have performed various measurements in the FOCSM involving axial responses, edge responses, signal levels and interference axial responses in order to demonstrate the differences in confocal scanning imaging between using optical fibres and using pinholes.
Experimentally measured results are compared with our theoretical predictions, revealing good agreements. It is shown convincingly that the FOCSM is a purely coherent imaging system as predicted in our previous theory.
