Background—Nailfold capillary microscopy is a routine procedure in the investigation of patients with Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP). As a standard method, nailfold capillary morphology is inspected with a stereomicroscope to look for capillary abnormalities such as giant loops, avascular areas, and bushy capillaries, which have all been found to be associated with certain connective tissue diseases...

Stereomicroscope The new Carl Zeiss stereomicroscope Stemi 2000-CS allows the user to view the sample whilst other observers view the procedure by video. Greenough type stereomicroscopes create their stereo effect by having separate light paths set at different angles, one for each eye. However, when video or photomicrography is being carried out most stereomicroscope systems remove light from ...

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Dicrocoeliidae larval stages in Helix lucorum found Eskisehir and Bartin provinces Turkey. Snails were collected from pastures Bartin. The snails anesthetised with 50 mM sterilized magnesium chloride (MgCl2) before being dissected. Internal organs snail, specifically hepatopancreas, analysed a stereomicroscope terms sporocyst cercaria.The ...

OBJECTIVES Presentation of a methodological approach using stereo and scanning electron microscope examination for the failure analysis of an alumina all-ceramic premolar crown (Procera AllCeram). METHODS The recovered part of a fractured Procera alumina crown was examined utilizing first a stereomicroscope and second a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The stereomicroscope analysis was per...

Since the revision of the genus Allopachria Zimmermann, 1924 (Wewalka 2000), a total of 13 new species have been added to this genus (Wewalka 2010; Bian & Ji 2010, 2012; Bian et al. 2013). Together with Allopachria longyanensis sp. nov., the genus now includes 47 known species. The new species was detected among museum material, collected in 1997 in the Fujian Province, China. Specimens were ex...

Sir, The standard technique for diagnosis of human scabies is by microscopic examination of scales obtained by skin scraping, using a needle in order to ®nd the female mite in her burrow. Epiluminescence microscopy allows in vivo detection of the mite, and consists of skin lesion observation via stereomicroscope after the application of oil and a slide between the lens and the skin (1, 2). We c...

Severe tick infestation was found in a hare in a suburban area of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China. We sampled ticks and identified them based on their morphologic characteristics. Three species, Ixodes sinensis, which is commonly found in China and can experimentally transmit Borrelia burgdorferi, Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides, and Haemaphysalis longicornis which can transmit Lyme disease we...

Materials and methods: Access cavities were prepared in 72 intact extracted premolar teeth. The samples were divided into three groups (n = 24) and filled with Coltosol, Compoglass, or Zonalin. After thermal cycling for 500 cycles (5–55°C), the teeth were immersed in 1% methylene blue dye at 37°C for 1 week (n = 8), 1 month (n = 8), and 2 months (n = 8). The samples were sectioned buccolinguall...
