o
The scannable depth of tissue is highly based on the light-absorption capacity of
the sample. If scanning a thicker tissue sample, the resulting image may become
noisy due to the characteristics of confocal imaging and the loss of intensity.
•
Brightfield image is blurred when using any of the two objectives.
o
Check the cleanness of the condenser and clean it if needed. For more
information, see section
