A Novel Polarized Light Microscope for the Examination of Birefringent Crystals in Synovial Fluid
Subjective and objective measures of greater detection and higher certainty were observed for SCPLM over CPLM, particularly for CPP crystals. The digital data associated with these images can ultimately be incorporated into an automated crystal detection system that provides a quantitative report on crystal count, size, and morphology.
