In the early 1990s I imaged what sounds like this for a renal MD.  He had bone biopsies from patients given tetracycline as an indicator of bone growth which was a diagnostic tool for success/failure or kidney transplant.  The question was whether the confocal could avoid the prep of the standard technique of getting a neat cross section.  But we could not image depth of tetracycline ring accurately by looking at the surface and trying to do a Z series.  And for imaging cross sections, we found the confocal was no improvement over the then clinical practice.  Back then we were using a 60X NA 1.4 Nikon fixed tube length objective; maybe newer microscopes could do better.
