title: [Specular microscopy and clinical correlations].
abstract: Specular microscope displays images of reflected light at an optical interface. Allows qualitative, quantitative and morphometric analysis of corneal endothelium in a noninvasive way using specular reflection. This can be achieved by: Slit Lamp or Specular Microscope. Confocal Microscope is a category of Specular Microscope where the objective and condensor lens have the same focal point. It has a higher resolution and unlike conventional microscope this can scan all corneal layers.
