Abstract:

This report describes a new accessory fiberoptic light for the most widely used surgical microscope. The advantages of this light are that it permits easy sterile draping of the microscope, does not require a special lens cover, can be adjusted to vary the size and location of the field of illumination, and produces minimal interference with the passage of microinstruments into the operative exposure.

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...
