An adapter window for precise skin marking during handheld reflectance confocal microscopic scanning

While assessing a skin lesion using reflectance confocal microscopy, it is still challenging to identify and mark the exact location of a specific feature of interest on the skin. Previous reports have proposed the use of a dressing tape that is centrally perforated with a punch for studying a specific area using reflectance confocal microscopy. 1 Robinson M. Soyer H.P.
