Abstract
Five sources of healthy human cartilage tissue were investigated using fluorescence confocal microscope: larynx, meniscus, nose, joint and ear. The structural qualitative comparison carried out a maximum number of chondrocytes is present in nose and ear. Laser induced fluorescence using 404 nm wavelength source and statistical comparison shown extracellular matrix is similar in larynx, meniscus and nose cartilage. The biggest differences appeared in joint and ear tissue. This beginning study is promising and shows useful application in reconstructive surgery and oncology.
