  "term": "Macroconfocal",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "Describing an optical imaging technique that combines the principles of confocal microscopy with a larger field of view, suitable for macroscopic samples. It employs a pinhole to reject out-of-focus light, providing high-resolution, three-dimensional images of thicker specimens. This method is applied in industrial inspection for quality control of larger components.",
