Abstract
A new double-pass confocal absorption microscope is proposed where a phase conjugation mirror is used instead of the plane or concave mirror commonly employed in a conventional double-pass optical design. A practical system using a BaTiO3 crystal is developed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed principle. Using a diatom material as sample, a comparison is made between the image produced by our new microscope with those obtained using a conventional double-pass microscope, and a single-pass non-confocal microscope.Keywords
