【 摘 要 】

Reflectance confocal laser scanning microscopy (R-CSLM) is a new diagnostic technique which allows visualization of "optical intersections" within the epidermis and superficial layers of the dermis. Outlines of cells and their architecture are imaged and may be analyzed both horizontally and vertically to the skin surface. The method proved useful in early melanoma detection. We evaluated the potential usefulness of this method in a short series of patients with hair diseases.
