Instant Optical Biopsy
With the simple workflow for Instant Optical Biopsy and the use of our in vivo confocal microscope systems you can make a whole body examination and furthermore you can have a view into the different skin layers. With the VivaScope you can now finally see the cell morphology in high resolution – and not just the surface of the skin. This allows you an “Instant Optical Biopsy” painless and within minutes.
Step 1: Clinical Imaging
Start imaging by taking a clinical image(s) with the dermatoscopic camera VivaCam, a vital component of the VivaScope imaging system.
Step 2: Dermatoscopy
In Vivo examinations using confocal laser scanning microscopy allow for an optical biopsy using a non-invasive procedure. Cellular microstructures of skin can thereby be depicted cell by cell in clearly defined horizontal “optical cross-sections” with a thickness of less than 5.0 μm.
Step 3: Confocal Imaging
In Vivo examinations using confocal laser scanning microscopy allow for an optical biopsy using a non-invasive procedure. Cellular microstructures of skin can thereby be depicted cell by cell in clearly defined horizontal “optical cross-sections” with a thickness of less than 5.0 μm.
Step 4: Interpretation
Examining with the VivaScope means both, sparing patients from painful and potentially unnecessary removal of tissue and long waiting time for the result of an examination. The examination opens a “window into the skin” without causing pain or damaging it.
