Mean cell densities in 16 normal corneas determined by automatic and manual methods in images from the ConfoScan 4 and by automated method from scans by the Tandem Scanning confocal microscope. Densities agreed between instruments in all layers except the anterior 10% of stromal depth.

The Confoscan 4 confocal microscope uses a slit scanning design. The slit scanning microscope has the advantage of scanning many points in parallel, but the disadvantage is that this microscope is truly confocal only in the axis perpendicular to the slit. This often requires manual manipulation of head and eyelids. The Confoscan 4 allows automated or semi-automated and manual endothelial image analysis. However, many researchers and clinicians use the semi-automated or manual mode to be able to apply the correction tools to correct the mistakes made by the automated analysis. Hence there is a need to improve the automation of endothelium analysis. this technique is that it is a manual assessment that re-quires subjective interpretation by the observer [14]. Several automated instruments have been introduced to objectively evaluate corneal endothelial morphology and CCT. These include theTopcon Optical SPP non-contact specular microscope (SPP) [15,16], the Confoscan 4 confocal.

Purpose: To compare automated endothelial cell density analysis with manual cell detection methods with 3 imaging devices. Methods: In this prospective study, the corneal endothelium of 54 Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) eyes and 28 normal eyes was analyzed with a Nidek Confoscan 4 confocal microscope using a 20× noncontact lens and with Tomey EM and Konan Noncon Robo. Objective: To determine the efficacy of automated imaging software of the Nidek ConfoScan 4 confocal biomicroscope at analyzing canine corneal endothelial cell density and morphology in health and disease, by comparing to a manual analysis method.
