Confocal Microscopy
Anyone live by one of these institutions that uses Confocal microscopy?
-Wellman Laboratories of Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston
-Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (New York, NY)

Confocal is widely used by dermatologists and dermatology researchers around the world to study and diagnose skin cancers, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, along with a variety of other skin diseases like psoriasis, actinic keratosis and seborrheic keratosis. Since there is a video monitor, it looks like they can take image of lips without doing a biopsy?
