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