Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) is a versatile and powerful optical instrument which is gaining a strong increase of interest for biological investigations and also for the characterization of materials, microstructures and devices. We exploit its capability for the characterization of light‐emitting micro and nano‐structures based on color centers in lithium fluoride. CLSM was successfully used as an advanced optical reading system to detect X‐ray micro‐radiographies of biological specimens stored in LiF imaging detectors.
