The Fluorescence Scanning Thermal Microscope (FSTM v3.0), was designed to create an inexpensive, and easily manufactured, device for measuring the diffusivity of samples with microscopic locational precision. This was accomplished by using a Blu-ray device known as a PHR-803T, referred to in this work as a PHR. The optics in the PHR are nearly identical in function to conventional devices used in thermoreflectance microscopy, making the PHR extremely useful to integrate into the FSTM design. The focus of this thesis is the application of the FSTM as a confocal microscope using 3D printed components and various low-cost devices to operate with comparable sampling accuracy to existing confocal microscopes. The electronics and optical filters were then adapted to enable the measurement of thermal waves, particularly by detecting a linear relationship between phase delay and the spacing between heating and sensing lasers, as predicted by previous work on the FSTM.
