A new binocular microscope

Binocular indirect ophthalmo microscope-assistant gas-perfused pars plana vitrectomy

The vitreous sample has been used for the diagnosis of uveitis and intraocular malignancy for decades. The sample volume is usually limited to 1 mL with current techniques. In the present study, a novel technique for higher amount of vitreous sample acquisition, that is, Binocular Indirect Ophthalmo Microscope-assistant gas-perfused pars plana vitrectomy (BAG-PPV) was invented.For diagnostic pu...

A new look at binocular stereopsis

We report a new phenomenon, which illustrates that the role of binocular disparity in 3D shape perception critically depends on whether the parts are interpreted as belonging to a single object. The nature of this phenomenon was studied in four experiments. In the first two experiments the subjects were shown a sequence of stereoscopic images of a cube, in which binocular disparity indicated th...

A new microscope for the kidney: mathematics.

The discovery of the microscope in the late 17th century revealed otherwise invisible processes, and revolutionized biology. Years later, mathematics has the potential to do the same. We will highlight recent studies that utilize computational modeling techniques to investigate kidney function. Like a microscope, mathematical models offer a variety of “magnification levels” that focus on differ...

A New Class and Demonstrating Microscope

1 and 2 is one which lias recently been constructed, at my suggestion, by Mr. Charles Collins, the Optician of Great Tichfield Street ; and may, I think, be found useful by those engaged in teaching microscopic anatomy. The old method of lecturing upon diagrams, and exhibiting specimens under the microscope after lecture,has these two serious objections: ls?,a large number of microscopes must b...
