Dear Sebastian,

I agree with George and you. I still do not understand the excitation
comparison - based on your experience, is there somehow comparable the
excitation laser power in between different confocal principles (5 mW) as
presented in the paper?

For sure, I am also very interested in some deep explanation and analysis
of observed and presented results.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Jan
