Lucid granted approval to market reflective microscope

Lucid’s VivaScope reflective confocal microscopes provide non-invasive, in-vivo cellular resolution images of skin. Dermatologists can use the images to form a clinical judgment for a variety of skin conditions – without the need for surgery to excise tissue – thus improving the quality of care for their patients. Sales of Lucid’s VivaScope confocal microscopes in China will be handled by ConBio.

Jay Eastman, CEO of Lucid, said: “This milestone announcement opens opportunities for application of confocal microscopes to evaluate and monitor treatment of skin inflammatory and pigmentation disorders with leading hospitals throughout China.”
