Assessing nailfold microvascular structure with ultra-wideband raster-scan optoacoustic mesoscopy

Nailfold capillaroscopy, based on bright-field microscopy, is widely used to diagnose systemic sclerosis (SSc). However it cannot reveal information about venules and arterioles lying deep under the nailfold, nor can it provide detailed data about surface microvasculature when the skin around the na...
