**9. Conclusions**

There are two principal methods utilized in nailfold capillaroscopy. The one with the stereomicroscope provides the panoramic view at lesser magnification. Videocapillaroscope provides a larger magnification but at the cost of limited field of visualization. They are equivalent for the identification of classical abnormalities. The inclusion of capillaroscopic abnormalities in the ACR/EULAR classification for SSc drew more attention to this technique. The education and training of rheumatologists in capillaroscopic examination is the need of the hour.
