Descriptor microscopía confocal
Entry term(s) microscopía confocal de barrido láser
microscopía de rastreo láser
Scope note: Técnica de microscopía de luz en la que sólo se ilumina y observa a la vez un punto pequeño. De esta manera, con el barrido del campo se construye una imagen punto a punto. Las fuentes de luz pueden ser convencionales o láser, y se pueden realizar observaciones con fluorescencia o transmisión.
