Super-continuum generation 현상을 이용한 Solid-immersion lens 기반 공초점 현미경

Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate solid-immersion lens based confocal microscopy using super-continuum generation effect. Using super-continuum generation effect, we could diversify the excitation wavelength of confocal microscopy. Further, high refractive index of solid-immersion lens would increase the resolution of confocal microscopy. As a result, by applying the super-continuum generation effect and solid-immersion lens to confocal microscopy, some problems of confocal fluorescent microscopy, the excitation wavelength and the resolution, could be overcome. To verify it, we made home-built solid-immersion lens based confocal microscopy using super-continuum generation effect, and evaluate the performance of the system.
