In vivo confocal microscopy of toxic keratopathy

Variations of the Normal Human Limbal Stem Cells Detected by In Vivo Confocal Microscopy

Background  To report normal variations of the limbal structures using in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy. Methods: This was a retrospective study of fourteen eyes from 11 healthy individuals. Confocal imaging of cornea and limbus was performed using Heidelberg Retina Tomograph III Rostock Corneal Module. Results: The typical structure of the palisades of Vogt (POV) was detected ...

Confocal microscopy in multiple myeloma associated crystalline keratopathy: case report.

We report on the confocal microscopical findings of both corneas of a patient presenting a multiple myeloma associated crystalline keratopathy and the response to treatment. Blurred vision was the first sign of progression of the multiple myeloma. Confocal microscopy images show needle-like structures in the epithelium and stroma of the cornea which regressed after treatment of the multiple mye...

preliminary study of in vivo formed dental plaque using confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy

objective: confocal laser scanning microscopy (clsm) is relatively a new light microscopical imaging technique with a wide range of applications in biological sciences. primary value of clsm for the biologist is its ability to provide optical sections from three-dimensional specimen. the present study was designed to assess the thickness content of in vivo accumulated dental plaque using clsm a...

In Vivo Confocal Microscopy in Scarring Trachoma

OBJECTIVE To characterize the tissue and cellular changes found in trachomatous scarring (TS) and inflammation using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). DESIGN Two complimentary case-control studies. PARTICIPANTS The first study included 363 cases with TS (without trichiasis), of whom 328 had IVCM assessment, and 363 control subjects, of whom 319 had IVCM assessment. The second study includ...
