High-power specular microscopy is now an established clinical technique. Many clinicians favour one method - contact or non-contact - or apparatus over another according to their personal requirements, and, for the time being, development of the apparatus seems to have slowed after a flurry in the last decade. Most recent developments primarily concern accessories to the existing instruments to increase their versatility. These include digital read-out pachometers, video-viewers and recorders, polaroid cameras and image analysers. Nevertheless, as the capabilities of the various microscopes are realised, there can be little doubt that other demands will be made upon them by their users and further development will be stimulated. Meanwhile, there is continuing laboratory work which attempts to keep ahead of clinical demand and which will, it is hoped, provide new parameters to the examination and study of the in vivo cornea.
高倍镜反射显微镜检查法现已成为一项成熟的临床技术。许多临床医生根据个人需求，对某种方法（接触式或非接触式）或仪器的青睐程度各不相同。而且，目前仪器的发展在经历了过去十年的一阵热潮后似乎已有所放缓。最近的发展主要涉及现有仪器的配件，以增加其多功能性。这些配件包括数字读数测厚仪、视频显示器和录像机、宝丽来相机以及图像分析仪。然而，随着各种显微镜功能的实现，毫无疑问，用户会对它们提出其他要求，从而刺激进一步的发展。与此同时，实验室工作仍在持续进行，试图领先于临床需求，并且有望为体内角膜的检查和研究提供新的参数。
