Lisa, I feel your pain about the RCM...it's awfully difficult to find abnormalities when we're trying to discern normal anatomy from artifact, etc. Hope this helps... John ******** John C.

The Doctors ask us to do confocal microscopy on these people, which we do on the Heidelberg RCM. However, trying to figure out what we are looking at is another thing. Does anyone have a piccy of acanthaeomeba in the cornea done on a confocal? Would be most appreciated.
