Newly developed optical systems and their potential applications

Since microscope was invented in 17 century, optical instruments have continued to be an important tool for advanced investigations in biology and medicine. The step by step development of optical technology has also preceded the realization of macroscopic and microscopic biology, providing new advances that help better understanding of these fields. Even today it is necessary to build new optical devices to foster the advancement of frontier biological research, and for new applications in medical research. Here in this paper, we describe two new advanced optical systems for biological detection, which are already used in a series of new instrument products, such as the confocal scanner, the digital imaging scanning system.
