Photography in vivo of epithelial lesions in the human cornea with non-contact high magnification technique.

A technique is described for high magnification in vivo photography of epithelial lesions in the human cornea. Combining use of a high resolution, long working-distance microscope type lens with two-step photographic enlargement techniques results in photomacrographs with effective linear magnification of up to 500 X. The method allows studies of size and shape and crude details of epithelial cells.
