English term

RCLSM

English to German Medical Medical (general) biomaterials
CLSM stands for "confocal laser scanning microscopy"; "Konfokalmikroskopie mit Laser-Abtastung".
But can anyone tell me what the "R" stands for??

A sentence in which it appears:

When inoculated into samples of the NAH and SCH dressings, the viability of the bacteria could be effectively monitored over time using a rapid form of confocal laser scanning microscopy (RCLSM—Leica® UK).

Thanks for your help.

rapid confocal laser scanning microscopy

as it says in your sentence "rapid form of"
In German probably something along the lines of "Schnell-Konfokalmikroskopie mit Laser-Abtastung", although I have not confirmation by Google for this one
Peer comment(s):

agree Dr. Georg Schweigart : Normally, "R" means reflection (see Eckhard)! However, there are also a few google hits with R=rapid. Thus, in your case it seems to be "rapid".

agree Brigitte Hagman : from what I found in google, it seems to be rapid, especially in connection with the Leica instrument
