Structured Illumination Methods

  • Chapter
Handbook Of Biological Confocal Microscopy

Abstract

In this chapter, I discuss methods of obtaining optical section data using methods other than standard confocal microscopy. These techniques have the potential of being more light efficient, faster, and of providing better resolution than standard, unprocessed confocal microscopy.
