Probe‐based confocal laser endomicroscopy for rapid on‐site evaluation of transbronchial biopsy specimens

Background Probe‐based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a novel, noninvasive technology that provides real‐time lung imaging during bronchoscopy. pCLE shows the elastic fiber network without the use of a fluorescent dye. Elastic fibers produce argon laser‐induced autofluorescence at a wavelen...
