About the Technology
- Endomicroscopy is made possible by combining laser, fiber optic and
computer technologies to enable miniaturization of confocal microscopes
- Confocal microscopes enable microscopic optical sectioning of tissue in
vivo, so that layers of cells are clearly imaged
- Magnification of up to 1,000x allows cellular and sub-cellular structures
to be observed.
Confocal endomicroscopy reveals several microscopic structures and cell types normally seen in conventional histology.
This can be done during the course of an otherwise normal endoscopic procedure.
