Confocal Microscopy

Applied Optics, 1994
Abstract It is probably fair to say that the development and wide commercial availability of the confocal microscope has been one of the most significant advances in light microscopy in the recent past. The main reason for the popularity of these instruments derives from their ability to permit the structure of thick specimens of ...

Confocal endomicroscopy

Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2008
Confocal laser endomicroscopy is an emerging field of endoscopic imaging allowing gastroenterologists to obtain in-vivo histology of the gastrointestinal mucosa. The present review will address the more recent advances in confocal laser endomicroscopy and discuss its future.Interest in confocal laser endomicroscopy and in-vivo diagnosis of ...

Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy [PDF]

open access: possibleGastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2005
A miniaturized confocal microscope was developed that could be integrated in the distal tip of a conventional colonoscope. With this technique, denoted confocal endomicroscopy, subsurface analysis of the gut mucosa and in-vivo histology during ongoing endoscopy are possible in full resolution by point scanning laser analysis. The diagnostic spectrum of

Confocal Stereo

International Journal of Computer Vision, 2006
We present confocal stereo, a new method for computing 3D shape by controlling the focus and aperture of a lens. The method is specifically designed for reconstructing scenes with high geometric complexity or fine-scale texture. To achieve this, we introduce the confocal constancy property, which states that as the lens aperture varies, the pixel ...

Confocal Microscopy [PDF]

open access: possibleCurrent Protocols in Toxicology, 2000
AbstractConfocal microscopy allows visualization of optical sections of material labeled with fluorescence or reflecting probes. By excluding light from planes above and below the plane of focus it is possible to obtain sharp images of objects deep within sections. Sections can be combined to construct three‐dimensional images.

Confocal Endomicroscopy

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2009
The preoperative diagnosis of biliary neoplasms is associated with a low sensitivity. To overcome this limitation, probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy was further developed to enable in vivo microscopic imaging, with confocal miniprobes further miniaturized to such an extent to enable their use even via the instrumentation channel of ...

Confocal microscopy of the cornea

Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 1999
This paper provides the clinician and the researcher with an in-depth manual on the use of a scanning-slit confocal light microscope for the clinical examination and investigation of the living human cornea in vivo. The scope of the paper includes a thorough explanation of the principles of various types of confocal microscopes as well as their ...

Basic Confocal Microscopy

Current Protocols in Cell Biology, 1997
AbstractThis comprehensive overview unit introduces the reader to confocal microscopy from the basic principles of imaging and optical sectioning, to selection of laser, practical guidelines for fixation, choice of fluorophore, control samples, and mounting the sample. There are also suggestions for optimizing the imaging parameters.

The Confocal Story

2011
Dermatologic diagnosis is primarily based on interpretation of morphological information by visual inspection, confirmed by histopathological diagnosis if necessary. The challenge is to establish a correct diagnosis and to identify all malignant lesions while minimizing unnecessary surgical procedures.
