Abstract
Reflectance-mode confocal microscopy is a novel imaging tool that enables the noninvasive exploration of the skin. It is based on the in vivo generation of x-y confocal images that represent high-resolution maps of the skin at different depths. This chapter describes the reflectance confocal microscopic features of main dermatological diseases including epidermal tumors, melanocytic tumors, parasitic and infectious skin diseases, and diseases of mucosa and nail.
