Abstract

Theoretical and experimental results for a new reflection-type confocal microscope with a phase-conjugate mirror (PCM) are presented. The microscope achieves better lateral and axial resolution than the conventional confocal microscope. The observation volume is reduced considerably (approximately 63%). Owing to the properties of the PCM, the system is self-aligning.
