In this pilot study, USB capillaroscopy was able to discriminate between patients with SSc and controls as well as videocapillaroscopy on the basis of capillary width. This finding, together with the high-quality images obtained, highlights the potential of USB capillaroscopy as a low-cost, easily accessible clinical and research tool.
