From: A review of the application of in-vivo confocal microscopy on conjunctival diseases
Representative in-vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) images from normal human conjunctiva. a Superficial epithelial cells: large irregular-shaped cells with prominent oval-shaped nuclei. b Superficial epithelial cells with hyper-reflective desquamation (arrow). c Intermediate epithelial cells manifested as tightly arranged cells with punctate and hyper-reflective nuclei. d Basal epithelial cells: polygonal shaped cells with hyper-reflective cell borders and the small bright nuclei visible or not. e Goblet cells: large hyper-reflective, ovoid cells of uniform brightness with hypo-reflectivity nuclei. f Dendritic cells: hyper-reflective cell bodies, with long dendrites (arrows) or lacking dendrites (arrowhead). g Conjunctival lamina propria: a network of hyper-reflective overlapping fibers. h Conjunctival lamina propria: blood vessels with hyper-reflective immune cells (arrows)
