ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a confocal optical scanning device comprising a mobile scanning mirror, reflection on one side101(b) compensating reflection on the opposite side101(a) after passing through an array of microscopic holes. The invention is applicable to rapid 3D and 2D microscopy, in biology and in the study of materials.
