Schematic of confocal and multiphoton microscopes. (A) Confocal microscope. Precise alignment of the detector pinhole so that it is confocal to the focal point of the objective on the sample is critical. (B) Multiphoton microscope. Collection of the emitted light does not require a pinhole, resulting in a simpler detection design and more efficient signal collection.
