The goal of this clinical research study is to see if reflectance confocal microscopy works as well as standard methods to detect cancer of the cervix or precancerous lesions. Primary Objectives: 1. To identify potential clinical advantages for a noninvasive method of diagnosing dysplasia and neoplasia in the cervix using reflectance confocal microscopy. 2. To obtain real time reflected light images in vivo of sites in the human cervix. 3. To access the effects of acetic acid as a contrast agent for in vivo reflectance confocal imaging. 4. Evaluate the depth of penetration for the fiber optic confocal device and analyze the diagnostic value of images taken from different depths. 5. Determine the sensitivity and specificity of this device for the diagnosis of CIN.
