Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM or LSCM) is a valuable tool for obtaining high resolution images and 3-D reconstructions. The key feature of confocal microscopy is its ability to produce blur-free images of thick specimens at various depths. Using the appropriate fluorescent probes it allows for intercellular imaging and localization of proteins, macromolecules, and organelles, as well the collocalisation of such entities to reveal biomolecular, biochemical and cellular interactions.
