Confocal microscopy has now become an important research tool, with a large number of new fluorescent dyes becoming available in the past few years for probing your pet structure or molecule within fixed or living cell or tissue samples. This manual is intended to teach readers the basic concepts of microscopy, fluorescence, digital imaging, and the principles of confocal microscopy so that they may take full advantage of the excellent confocal microscopes now available. This manual is an excellent reference source for information related to confocal microscopy for both beginners and more advanced users. The main emphasis in this manual in on the laser scanning confocal microscopes used in biology. However, a variety of related imaging technologies are briefly introduced as a comparison
