[…] „The digital controls of a confocal microscope allow for the clean separation of different fluorescent emission signals and the balancing of signal levels in different channels. Thus, fluorescent images of exceptional clarity and vivid color can be easily obtained. In addition, the optical sectioning properties of the confocal microscope can be used to collect clear images from within thick sections and wholemounts.“
