Dear All,

I'm quite new in the confocal world, I'll start a PhD and I will have to use confocal.
I well understand the principle of pinhole and I can figure out its effect on XY resolution but I can't figure out precisely what effect it have about Z resolution.
If the pinhole leads to have 1 AU, what will be the z resolution ? How to calculate it ?
Knowing the pinhole size we can calculte XY resolution by calculated the backprojected pinhole radius but how this value is related to z resolution ?

Thanks for help

Max
