โฆ Synopsis
This paper reports on the construction and characterisation of a novel double-pass confocal scanning microscope that uses a four-port ยฎbre coupler. The new imaging system is self-aligned, compact, vibration-free, and purely coherent. Compared with ยฎbre-optic transmission-and reยฏection-mode confocal systems, the ยฎbre-optic double-pass confocal imaging system exhibits higher resolution.

Fibre-optic technology combined with confocality produces a microscope capable of optical thin sectioning. In this original study, tibial nerves have been stained in a rat model with a vital dye, 4-(4-diethylaminostyryl)-N-methylpyridinium iodide, and analysed by fibre-optic confocal microscopy to p
