This paper first compares point scanning confocal microscopy with spinning disk confocal microscopy in fluorescence confocal microscopy. The former is a serial imaging with single point excitation-detection and has a slower speed; the latter is a parallel imaging with multi-point excitation-detection, which is fast. Furthermore, by comparing the technical principles of single-disk and dual-disk confocal focusing, the limited pinhole size, spacing, and distance between the two disks caused by the micro lens disk in the dual-disk setup were revealed, resulting in limited field-of-view, imaging quality, rotation speed, and the need for precise registration of the disk system. The technical characteristics of ceiling-less single disk confocal system were explained, including multi-color, fast (fast rotation speed, large field-of-view), easy-to-use (high optical quality, customizable pinhole size and spacing), stabilization (high stability, low cost), and its performance was demonstrated through resolution testing (xy direction resolution 230 nm, z direction resolution 470 nm). Finally, the characteristics of the three technologies in terms of resolution and penetration depth, photobleaching and phototoxicity, signal-to-noise ratio, imaging rate, system complexity and imaging field of view were compared. The comparison showed that the single-disk technology outperforms the point scanning and dual-disk technologies in terms of imaging field of view, imaging rate, phototoxicity and system complexity, thus demonstrating its outstanding application value in biomedical research.
