Abstract
A new method for observing normal and pathologic states of the human t ear film using tandem scanning confocal microscopy is presented. The c onfocal microscope is configured with a horizontal light path, a 10 x dry objective, and an image-intensified camera for collecting images a t a magnification of approximately 150x. The advantages of confocal mi croscopy can be used to collect reflected images of the human tear fil m with improved detail and resolution.
