Introduction

The Industrial Confocal Microscope developed by VenusLab is an advanced optical imaging system designed to deliver sharp, high-contrast images by eliminating out-of-focus light. Leveraging a spatial pinhole, the system is particularly powerful for 3D imaging of complex biological specimens and industrial inspection tasks that demand precision.

This solution provides both core confocal scanning technology and customized engineering design, ensuring adaptability for scientific research, medical imaging, and industrial applications.

How It Works (Simplified Workflow)

1. Laser scanning: A laser scans the sample point by point.
2. Optical pinhole: Light from the focal plane passes through a pinhole, while out-of-focus light is blocked.
3. Signal detection: The filtered light signal is detected by a photodetector (photodiode or photomultiplier tube).
4. Image reconstruction: A computer reconstructs the full high-resolution image by combining all scanned points.

This precise process ensures that only in-focus details are preserved, making it ideal for applications that require clarity at the microscopic level.
