An Improved Microscope Lamp.

The new inclined binocular microscopes when used with high-power objectives require much light to illuminate adequately the field of view. At least three times the light is necessary as for a similar optical combination on a monocular instrument. The ordinary opal bulbs even when over-run do not provide sufficient illumination, and of course with them there is no possibility of employing a ligh...

Near-infrared operating lamp for intraoperative molecular imaging of a mediastinal tumor

BACKGROUND Near-Infrared (NIR) intraoperative molecular imaging is a new diagnostic modality utilized during cancer surgery for the identification of tumors, metastases and lymph nodes. Surgeons typically use headlamps during an operation to increase visible light; however, these light sources are not adapted to function simultaneously with NIR molecular imaging technology. Here, we design a NI...

Development of a Lamp-Pumped Cr:LiSAF laser operating at 30 Hz

Cr:LiSrAlF6 crystals area a very interesting laser medium due to its spectroscopic characteristics, presenting a broad emission band in the near infrared and being able to be pumped either by flashlamp or by diodes. Up to now, its limitation is mostly due to its poor thermal properties that limit the laser performance either in the repetition rate in pulsed system or output power in CW systems....
