Histometric data obtained by in vivo confocal laser scanning microscopy in patients with systemic sclerosis
BACKGROUND It would be a benefit if time-saving, non-invasive methods could give hints for diagnosing systemic sclerosis. To investigate the skin of patients with systemic sclerosis using confocal laser scanning microscopy in vivo and to develop histometric parameters to describe characteristic cutaneous changes of systemic sclerosis observed by this new technique, we conducted an exploratory s...
متن کاملAge related changes of human skin investigated with histometric measurements by confocal laser scanning microscopy in vivo.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The confocal laser scanning microscope Vivascope (Lucid, Henrietta) allows skin to be studied in real-time with a resolution of 0.5 microm horizontal and 1.3 microm vertical in vivo. In this study, we present the results of a comparison between the skin of an older and a younger group of volunteers by in vivo histometric measurements. METHODS To investigate changes caused by a...
متن کاملIris ultrastructure in patients with synechiae as revealed by in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy
BACKGROUND Iris plays important roles in ocular physiology and disease pathogenesis. Currently it is technically challenging to noninvasively examine the human iris ultrastructure in vivo. The purpose of the current study is to reveal human iris ultrastructure in patients with synechiae by using noninvasive in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). METHODS The ultrastructure of iris ...
متن کاملIn vivo reflectance-mode confocal scanning laser microscopy in dermatology.
RCM offers tremendous potential for the advancement of medical research and clinical care. In research, it offers benefits both ex vivo and in vivo. Ex vivo, it can allow us to sample tissue and evaluate it noninvasively to determine what further testing--on the same exact tissue--may be helpful. In vivo RCM can be used to study normal or pathophysiologic processes in real-time noninvasively an...
متن کاملLaser Scanning Confocal Microscopy
Laser scanning confocal microscopy has become an invaluable tool for a wide range of investigations in the biological and medical sciences for imaging thin optical sections in living and fixed specimens ranging in thickness up to 100 micrometers. Modern instruments are equipped with 3-5 laser systems controlled by high-speed acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs), which allow very precise regula...
