Reflected light microscopic examination method for intravital visualization of dermal capillaries, see also reflected light microscopy. Capillaries of the nail fold are particularly suitable. Characteristic capillaroscopic signs have been described especially for systemic scleroderma, dermatomyositis, chronic venous insufficiency and vasomotor disorders. Dynamic capillary microscopy can be used to record the dynamics of microcirculatory processes with the aid of an additionally attached video system.
