The RCM is a standard confocal microscope extended with a re-scan detection unit. With a simple trick a resolution of 170nm can be achieved for any pinhole diameter. The pinhole is only needed for Z-sectioning. Since RCM has also a strongly improved sensitivity there is no need for high laser power, being more friendly for cells. At this moment RCM can work in multi-colour mode for different colour combinations and ratio-imaging. But it is our mission to go further by extending the spectral range into the IR for deep tissue imaging and real-time acquisition speed for monitoring highly dynamic processes. Applications like FRET, FRAP, pH, and Ca2+ are possible and many more biological applications are on the horizon.
