1. Light rays from outside the focal plane not recorded.
2. No blurring with defocusing = optical sectioning.
3. True, three-dimensional data sets .
4. Scanning in x/y-direction as well as in z-direction : objects
viewed from all sides.
5. Stray light and photo bleaching are minimized.
6. Image processing allows extended focus image with the
same resolution (in conventional microscopy reduction of the
aperture sacrifices resolution.

Optical quadratic processes for spatially confined
light-matter interactions
“Physics would be dull and life most unfulfilling if all physical phenomena
around us were linear. Fortunately, we are living in a nonlinear world.
While linearization beautifies physics, nonlinearity provides excitement in
physics.”
Y. R. Shen in The Principles of Nonlinear Optics, New York,
Wiley-Interscience, 1984.
