Abstract
The effect of the Fresnel diffraction on the imaging properties of confocal microscopy with one circular aperture and one annular aperture is investigated. The results show that the Fresnel diffraction patterns alter the axial imaging properties more seriously than the transverse imaging properties. The axial response of such a confocal microscope is sharpened, but severely distorted.
