Image quality:
Confocal technology allows improved spatial resolution and contrast compared to widefield imaging. Spatial resolution may be further improved using deconvolution algorithms (Huygens).
Sensitivity:
The HyD design allows better sensitivity and SNR compared to regular PMT and a less noisy photon counting imaging.
The fast resonant scanner decrease excitation-related toxicity.
