Confocal microscopes have evolved over the past 25 years from the early stage scanning systems to a collection of sophisticated laser scanning systems designed for a range of biomedical applications. Major improvements to the photon efficiency of the instrumentation coupled with the development of novel fluorescent reporters have enabled multidimensional imaging of living cells and tissues.
