Abstract
El biomiscroscopio o lámpara de hendidura permite la observación de las distintas estructuras que componen el globo ocular mediante diferentes técnicas de observación. En este trabajo se presentan dos técnicas distintas: la reflexión especular que permite la visualización de las células endoteliales y la dispersión escleral que permite la detección de opacidades corneales.
