title: CORRELATIONS BETWEEN CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY AND HISTOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF NORMAL CORNEA.
abstract: The evaluation of the cornea through confocal microscopy is a revolutionary non-invasive technique, which provides the ophthalmologist the histological and cytological in vivo images of the cornea, similar to those obtained through conventional histochemical methods. The current paper tries to prove and justify the similarity between the histological section model and the images obtained through confocal scanning, reflecting our experience with HRT II Cornea module.
