Confocal microscopy: comparisons, applications, and problems.
INTRODUCTION Over the past several years, fluorescence microscopy has become a primary quantitative tool in the armamentarium of the biomedical research scientist. In the past, the technology was limited to easily quenched fluorophores such as fluorescein and rhodamine, non-optimized objectives, filters consisting of little more than colored glass, and film as a recording media. At the present ...
متن کاملTheory and Applications of Confocal Theta Microscopy
The outstanding role of confocal fluorescence microscopy in modern biological research results from its optical sectioning capability, which allows three-dimensional analysis of thick specimens (Shotton 1989). This property is due to the combination of point-like light sources and detectors, such that the illumination and detection volumes are restricted. Only their common volume is relevant to...
متن کاملCorneal In Vivo Confocal Microscopy: Clinical Applications.
In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) has become a widely accepted imaging technique to study the human living cornea. It provides a unique opportunity to visualize the corneal tissue at the cellular level without damage and longitudinally observe its pathologic and normative changes. With rapidly evolving technology, there has been an abundance of interest in maximizing its potential to better un...
متن کاملClinical applications of corneal confocal microscopy
Corneal confocal microscopy is a novel clinical technique for the study of corneal cellular structure. It provides images which are comparable to in-vitro histochemical techniques delineating corneal epithelium, Bowman's layer, stroma, Descemet's membrane and the corneal endothelium. Because, corneal confocal microscopy is a non invasive technique for in vivo imaging of the living cornea it has...
