Specular Microscope
A specular microscope is an instrument that provides imaging and assessment of the corneal endothelial cell layer, morphology of endothelial cells and corneal pachymetry. Specular microscopy is a noninvasive photographic technique that allows you to visualize and analyze the corneal endothelium. Using computer-assisted morphometry, modern specular microscopes analyze the size, shape and population of the endothelial cells. The instrument can be used to analyze the cornea regarding several abnormal states such as corneal dystrophies, keratoconus and trauma.
