Orthogonal polarization spectral imaging. (A) Normal skin, in which the dermal capillary plexus is apparent as faint gray loops. (B) Superficial burn, appearing very similar to normal skin. (C) Deep burn, in which the destruction of the overlying capillary plexus allows for visualization of the larger thrombosed dermal vessels beneath. (Reprinted from Ref. [43].
