 | | The pictures below illustrate typical ApoTome applications. In each case, the conventional fluorescence image is shown in comparison to the result of image acquisition in the ApoTome mode. Please note that the quality of some of the pictures here is less than optimum, as the data have been stored as animated gif-files, a format that has its restrictions. |  | ApoTome
