Studying Wound Healing of Smooth Muscle Cells

This article discusses how wound healing of cultured smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in multiwell plates can be reliably studied over time with less effort using a specially configured Leica inverted…

GLOW800 Augmented Reality fluorescence in Moyamoya disease treatment

How AR Helps in the Surgical Treatment of Moyamoya Disease

Moyamoya disease is a rare chronic occlusive cerebrovascular disorder characterized by progressive stenosis in the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery and an abnormal vascular network at…

Clinical case: radial forearm free flap preparation with prelaminated urethra and phalloplasty anastomosis

Using GLOW800 AR in Radial Forearm Flap Free Phalloplasty

In this video, Chief Microsurgeon Professor Küntscher and his team perform a radial forearm free flap phalloplasty and use ICG fluorescence imaging to show the blood flow in the whole flap from the…

Fast, High-contrast 3D Imaging of Sensory Neurons

This article discusses how fast, high-contrast 3D imaging of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissue with a THUNDER Imager Tissue using large volume computational clearing (LVCC) allows sensory neurons to…

Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence (SSCD) or Minor’s syndrome.

Operative Intervention bei Bogengangsdehiszenz

Die Bogengangsdehiszenz (Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence - SSCD) ist eine seltene Störung des Innenohrs, die das Hörvermögen und das Gleichgewicht beeinträchtigt. Die Krankheit ist durch das…

A Versatile Palette of Fluorescent Probes

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg have developed a general strategy to synthesize live-cell compatible fluorogenic probes, and the result are the new MaP (Max…

Formulated Product Characterization with SRS Microscopy

Creams, pastes, gels, emulsions, and tablets are ubiquitous across a wide range of manufacturing sectors from pharmaceuticals and consumer health products to agrochemicals and paint. To improve…

Proveo 8 with intraoperative OCT – a User Evaluation in an University Setting

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) makes structures in the eye visible that lie beneath the surface. When OCT is used intraoperatively, surgeons gain insight into possible pathological changes in the…
