Fluorescence (Multiwave) Confocal Microscopy
In addition to reflectance confocal microscopy, multiwave confocal microscopes with different laser wavelengths in combination with exogenous fluorophores allow fluorescence mode confocal microscopy in vivo and ex vivo. Fluorescence mode confocal microscopy…
The Role of Reflectance Confocal Microscopy in Clinical Trials for Tumor Monitoring
Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) allows the evaluation with superb accuracy of some skin tumors before, during, and after treatment. In clinical trials RCM has been shown to provide useful information…
Well-aging
The aim of the current review is to provide an overview of the use of reflectance confocal microscopy to detect early skin aging signs. This new imaging tool holds the…
Telediagnosis with Confocal Microscopy
Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is becoming more popular among dermatologists aiming to improve their bedside diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary removal of benign cutaneous lesions. With increased interest in the…
In Vivo and Ex Vivo Confocal Microscopy for Dermatologic and Mohs Surgeons
Confocal microscopy is a modern imaging device that has been extensively applied in skin oncology. More specifically, for tumor margin assessment, it has been used in two modalities: reflectance mode…
Reflectance Confocal Microscopy Algorithms for Inflammatory and Hair Diseases
Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) allows real-time, noninvasive microscopic view of the skin at nearly histologic resolution serially over time. RCM increases the sensibility and sensitivity of the diagnosis of skin…
Confocal Microscopy for Special Sites and Special Uses
This article describes the use of confocal microscopy for special sites and unconventional applications. These new applications have been made possible thanks to the introduction on the market of a…
