Applications of quantum electronics. Part 1: The scanning optical microscope
Abstract
A scanning optical microscope which uses a finely focused laser beam to scan the specimen in a sense of parallel lines is described. Among the aspects discussed in detail are the scanning technique, resolution and contrast enhancement, harmonic radiation, thermal consideration, and signal processing and display. Experimental results are also reported.
