Confocal Microscopy offers several advantages over traditional fluorescence microscopy:
- Higher Resolution: By eliminating out-of-focus light, confocal microscopy provides clearer and more detailed images. - 3D Imaging: It allows for the reconstruction of three-dimensional images of samples, which is essential for understanding complex structures. - Quantitative Analysis: Enables precise quantification of fluorescence intensity, which can be used to measure the concentration of molecules within cells.
