Devesh Varma: Although I can execute many surgeries without an assistant, when I do need one, it is nice for them to have as clear a view as mine. The assistant scope really plays a role when I am training a fellow – if he or she can see what I am doing better, it …

We received 15 awards in Red Dot Award: Product Design 2016. Two of the award-winning products, LSPX-S1 and DSC-RX1RM2, received Red Dot: Best of the Best. Source link
It is important to examine the cell culture every day and immediately prior to subculturing to monitor cell health, check for contamination and determine when to split the cells. A first examination of the culture for fungal contamination, turbidity and particles in the medium as well as unexpected pH shifts, indicated by color change …
Forensics experts assist law enforcement all over the world to determine whether a suspect is guilty or innocent of a crime through examination of evidence. In their investigations, they use a broad range of macroscopes and microscopes, depending on the type of evidence. Digital microscopy also plays a role in forensics, such as in examination …
Super-resolution refers to any device or method that can resolve better than the classical Abbe limit. Apart from infinite super-resolution techniques such as STED (stimulated emission depletion) and SMLM (single-molecule localization methods) that can theoretically resolve to any detail, there are also methods for limited super-resolution. Here we present HyVolution by Leica, which merges …

Unlocking the potential of spaces to enrich everyday life Life Space UX is all about creating new experiences through the power of living spaces themselves. To unlock those new possibilities, we’ve turned the product development concept on its head—instead of designing items that add on to a space, we focus on creating new products that …
Optical microscopy is still an evolving field. Development of new techniques requires access to the microscope’s light path, for example to include additional light sources or laser devices. Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP), for instance, needs a laser to bleach fluorophores (s. Figure 4). Digital Mirror Devices, another example, are used for optogenetics, uncaging, and …
3D visualization of microscopic images not only offers advantages for neurosurgery and ophthalmology, but also provides important benefits for ENT surgery and training. In this interview, Prof. Erwin Offeciers talks about his experiences with 3D visualization in ENT surgery. He is head of the European Institute for Otorhinolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery of the …
Surface grinding using P4000 SiC grinding paper produced a rough but regular surface with pronounced grooves in grinding direction (Figure 1a). At high resolution crystals were observed on top of the grooves, presumably resulting from precipitation and recrystallization on the sample’s surface caused by room humidity conditions (approx. 40 %). Water etching entirely removed the surface grooves (Figure 1b). …
Exhibition report and overview The Sony Design: MAKING MODERN exhibition was held in Kyoto from November 27 to 29, 2015. This page contains information about the exhibition —which conveyed Sony’s spirit of taking on challenges that it has maintained since its foundation, expressed as “doing what has never been done before” —and a report on …
