Confocal Microscope developed by Indian Scientist

Confocal Microscopes are used to obtain three dimensional features at microscopic level and play vital role in scientific understanding of nano-materials, biological objects etc. At present, these are only available at limited number of science laboratories in India due to their prohibitive cost. As science advances, Scientists want to also understand the spectroscopic behavior of materials and this can be achieved only using Broad Spectrum Confocal Microscope. The unique nature of supercontinuumlight makes spectral coverage for all forms of confocal microscopy and for fluorescence imaging over wide range of wavelength. Here, the confocal microscope is illuminated using a Supercontinuum Light Source. At the global level, there are only a few Supercontinuum Source manufacturers as well as Confocal Microscope manufacturers. While using the broadband source, the optics has to be carefully designed to take care of chromatic aberrations too
