title: Confocal microscopy of the human cornea in vivo.
abstract: In vivo, scanning-slit, confocal microscopy offers improved resolution and has resulted in new discoveries of corneal pathology at the cellular level. The ability to provide high resolution, real-time images of the full thickness of the living human cornea gives the clinician and the researcher an important new tool.
