In Vivo Confocal Microscopy
摘要
In this chapter, we discuss the basic principles of confocal microscopyConfocal microscopy principles and the benefits of this techniqueTechnique to evaluate the human corneaCornea. Starting with the morphology of a normal corneaCornea and its in vivo confocal microscopic properties, we assess its clinical use in a tertiary reference hospital. We review the use of in vivo confocal microscopyIn vivo confocal microscopy as a diagnostic tool in infectious corneal pathologies more in-depth.
