DESCRIPTION:Tony Wilson\, University of Oxford\nThe fundamental property\,
  which any optical microscope that is to be used to finally produce three-
 dimensional images of a volume specimen must possess\, is the ability to i
 mage efficiently (and in-focus) only those regions the specimen that lie w
 ithin a thin section in the focal region of the microscope.  In order to i
 mage a three-dimensional volume of a thick specimen it is necessary to tak
 e a whole series of such thin optical sections as the specimen is moved ax
 ially through the focal region.  There are many methods to produce optical
  sectioning of which the confocal optical system is just one.  We shall re
 view these methods and describe a particularly convenient method of implem
 entation that uses white light illumination and real-time image formation 
 and can lead\, amongst other things\, to enhanced optical sectioning.
