Abstract
Confocal microscopy was such a successful technology especially because it made an entirely new dimension accessible to the researcher in fluorescence microscopy: the third dimension. For that reason, the phenomenon of fluorescence should be granted sufficient space in this book, for not only confocal microscopy but also the modern super-resolution methods based on this process.
