We have obtained confocal images of the microvasculature (in-vivo) of pancreatic
islets transplanted at the renal subcapsular site in rats. The technique is
described in detail in our paper titled;
 
"In-vivo analysis of angiogenesis and revascularization of transplanted pancreatic
islets using confocal microscopy" Journal of Microscopy, Vol. 176, Pt 3, Dec 1994,
pp. 262-275.
 
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.
