in Animal Experiments |

Experimental studies using confocal in vivo microscopy can be performed in laboratory animals. The different corneal layers, the conjunctiva, the iris, and the lens can be evaluated in
animals at the cellular level, under normal or pathological conditions. The advantage of this technique is that the animals do not need to be sacrificed.
