Introduction to Confocal Microscopy [PDF]
Conventional microscopy requires viewing a thin-cut “section” of fixed or frozen tissue, and therefore cannot be used to view thick tissue samples or for in vivo investigations. In vivo microscopy requires a virtual, rather than a physical, section of the specimen.

Telepresence Confocal Microscopy [PDF]
Abstract The advent of the Internet has allowed the development of remote access capabilities to a growing variety of microscopy systems. The Materials MicroCharacterization Collaboratory, for example, has developed an impressive facility that provides remote access to a number of highly sophisticated microscopy and microanalysis ...

Advances in Confocal Microscopy of the Eye [PDF]
This special issue focuses on the recent advances on in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM), a technique used to investigate eye structures at the cellular level without tissue damage. In 1985 Lemp and coworkers were the first to study ex vivo corneas by confocal microscopy and to suggest a possible in vivo use [1].

Confocal Microscopy in Skin Cancer [PDF]
Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) enables imaging of skin lesions at cellular level resolution at the bedside (in vivo) or in freshly excised tissue (ex vivo). This article provides an overview of strengths and limitations of non-invasive RCM in skin cancer diagnosis.RCM features of common melanocytic and non-melanocytic skin neoplasms such as ...

Fluorescence confocal microscopy for pathologists [PDF]
Confocal microscopy is a non-invasive method of optical imaging that may provide microscopic images of untreated tissue that correspond almost perfectly to hematoxylin- and eosin-stained slides. Nowadays, following two confocal imaging systems are available: (1) reflectance confocal microscopy, based on the natural differences in refractive indices of ...

Confocal Microscopy in the Esophagus and Stomach [PDF]
Probe-based confocal microscopy (pCLE) is actively being investigated for applications in the esophagus and stomach. The use of pCLE allows real-time in vivo microscopy to evaluate the microarchitecture of the mucosal epithelium. pCLE appears to be particularly useful in identifying mucosal dysplasia and early malignancies that cannot be clearly ...

Twin-photon confocal microscopy
A recently introduced two-channel confocal microscope with correlated detection promises up to 50% improvement in transverse spatial resolution [Simon, Sergienko, Optics Express {\bf 18}, 9765 (2010)] via the use of photon correlations. Here we achieve similar results in a different manner, introducing a triple-confocal correlated microscope which ...

This is an eleven chapter’s effort done by a bunch of Authors coordinated by Prof. R.L. Price and W.G. Jerome (who have personally written almost half of the book) that with great skills are revealing us the secrets of confocal microscopy. Considering the significant progresses in different fields of biology, confocal microscopy is extremely important ...

Biological confocal microscopy
Abstract The first practical use of confocal optics was by Hiroto Naora1, 1 , 2 , who built a device based upon a theoretical concept devised by his supervisor Z. Koana 3 , over 50 years ago. His system did not form images, but was used in high resolution micro-spectrophotometry.

Confocal microscopy and exfoliative cytology
Early detection of potentially malignant lesions and invasive squamous-cell carcinoma in the oral cavity could be greatly improved through techniques that permit visualization of subtle cellular changes indicative of the neoplastic transformation process. One such technique is confocal microscopy. Combining rapidity with reliability, an innovative idea
