In combination with ICG, GLOW800 allows surgeons to observe cerebral anatomy in natural color, augmented by a real-time view of blood flow. GLOW800 AR fluorescence, the first AR modality powered by GLOW AR technology is available fully integrated into ARveo. The microscope features groundbreaking GLOW AR digital technology, which combines white light with fluorescence for a single, precise view of the surgical site. The ARveo digital augmented reality neurosurgical microscope provides surgeons with extensive visual information to empower their intraoperative decision-making. Additionally, it provides extra contrast to clearly separate a multitude of fluorophores. This lifetime information lets researchers monitor interactions between proteins in living cells. The SP8 FALCON (FAst Lifetime CONtrast) system can record lifetime contrast 10x faster than previous solutions. LIGHTNING extracts valuable image information from previously unseen or inaccessible fine structures and details, expanding imaging capabilities both in the classic confocal range and beyond the diffraction limit, down to 120 nm. This performance advantage is achieved with a new opto-digital method created by Leica Microsystems called Computational Clearing.ΔΆ018 Redefining the Detection Limit for Confocal Imaging The Imagers eliminate the out-of-focus haze that clouds the view of thick specimens when using camera-based fluorescence microscopes. The THUNDER Imagers enable users to visualize clearly in real time fine details even deep inside thick specimens of biologically relevant models, e.g., model organisms, tissue sections, and 3D cell cultures. Widefield Visualization of 3D Biologically Relevant Specimens Transformed For 170 years, Leica Microsystems has helped shape the future and continues to do so today with its latest digital innovations enabling new insights for research, medical, and industrial applications. Over the last century it has developed into a global success story with a worldwide reputation. The origin of the company dates back to 1849 when a family business for optics was founded in Wetzlar, Germany.
The history of Leica Microsystems is closely related to the world-renowned brands Leitz and Leica.
