Abstract

A system (8) is provided having a clamping apparatus (10) with a first member (12) and a second member (14), which are spaced apart from each other. An attachment mechanism (20) is connected to the first member (12) for attaching the apparatus (10) to a confocal imaging system (22). This attachment mechanism (20) has a surface with a window facing the tissue to be examined. Opposing this surface is a third member (40) connected to the second member (14). A clamping mechanism includes the first member (12) and the second member (14) for clamping the tissue between the surface of the attachment mechanism (20) and the surface of the third member (40), thereby stabilizing the tissue to the confocal imaging system (22). The window (32) of the attachment mechanism (20) presents the clamped tissue to the confocal imaging system (22).
