Confocal Microscopy - Vivascope 1500
The VivaScope 1500 is a new and revolutionary type of skin imaging device that can help the professionals at Pennsylvania Dermatology Specialists diagnose skin cancer and other skin conditions more accurately. It is a non-invasive, painless procedure that takes just a few minutes to complete.
The VivaScope 1500 works by shining a laser light on the skin and capturing images of the reflected light. These images are then stitched together with sophisticated computer algorithms that create a high-resolution image of the skin’s microstructure, including the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, down to the individual cell.
The VivaScope 1500 provides high resolution images, which can help a trained professional distinguish between benign and malignant lesions, in a completely non-invasive manner.
