We have described the principle and method of confocal laser endomicroscopy using the system Cellvizio lung probe Alveoflex (Mauna Kea Technologies, France) to study the distal lower respiratory tract in real time. Acynoscopy has been performed in 25 patients aged from 24 to 75 years with different lung pathology. The problems associated with using of this technology and its potential practical applications are discussed.
