In vivo confocal microscopy of the ocular surface: from bench to bedside.
In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is an emerging technology that provides minimally invasive, high resolution, steady-state assessment of the ocular surface at the cellular level. Several challenges still remain but, at present, IVCM may be considered a promising technique for clinical diagnosis and management. This mini-review summarizes some key findings in IVCM of the ocular surface, focusi...
متن کاملReflectance confocal microscopy of mammary Paget disease
Mammary Paget disease is the intraepidermal adenocarcinoma of the nipple area which is characterized usually by a well-demarcated eczematous plaque. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), is an in vivo noninvasive diagnostic tool with a high-resolution imaging of the skin, almost comparable to conventional histology. RCM findings of Paget disease are limited in the literature. Most of the repor...
متن کاملSurface Visualisation and 3D Feature Analysis in Confocal Microscopy Images
Chondrons form the fundamental biomechanical and metabolic unit of articular cartilage. But there is no accurate description of chondron volume which is known to change when articular cartilage is functionally loaded. This report discusses the 3D feature analysis of the confocal microscopy images of chondrons. The basic principle of confocal microscopy is described. The segmentation problem of ...
متن کاملReview Article In Vivo Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy of Human Meibomian Glands in Aging and Ocular Surface Diseases
Meibomian glands (MGs) play a crucial role in the ocular surface homeostasis by providing lipids to the superficial tear film.Their dysfunction destabilizes the tear film leading to a progressive loss of the ocular surface equilibrium and increasing the risk for dry eye. In fact, nowadays, the meibomian gland dysfunction is one of the leading causes of dry eye. Over the past decades, MGs have b...
متن کاملConfocal Microscopy
A confocal microscope creates sharp images of a specimen that would otherwise appear blurred when viewed with a conventional microscope. This is achieved by excluding most of the light from the specimen that is not from the microscope’s focal plane. The image has less haze and better contrast than that of a conventional microscope and represents a thin cross-section of the specimen. Thus, apart...
