Precision Optical Guidance for Oral Biopsy

The High Resolution Microendoscope (HRME) take pictures of a very small area of the lining of the mouth, about the size of a pencil tip, but at high magnification.

The optical mapping scope displays a wide area of the lining of the mouth (about the size of the top of a soda can) by shining different colors of light into the mouth and taking pictures.

A coloring substance (a fluorescent dye which glows green in the dark), called proflavine hemisulfate, will be painted on areas of the mouth with a cotton tip applicator to help improve the pictures
