Apoyando los estudios en el aula con el ECLIPSE Ei
“Es fácil enseñar a los estudiantes cómo usarlo, y ellos también lo encuentran fácil de usar”
La observación utilizando microscopios juega un papel extremadamente importante en el aprendizaje de los conceptos básicos de la ciencia. El ECLIPSE Ei de Nikon se desarrolló como un microscopio de uso educativo con el concepto de ser un ‘microscopio fácil de usar, incluso para los estudiantes que lo utilizan por primera vez’. Visitamos a la Sra. Rika Izumi, profesora de ciencias en Rikkyo Niiza Junior and Senior High School, Saitama, Japón, donde el ECLIPSE Ei está disponible en las aulas, para conocer los antecedentes y las razones para elegir este microscopio, la experiencia del usuario y las reacciones de los estudiantes.

El ECLIPSE Ci-L plus contribuye a unos exámenes clínicos más cómodos.
“Además del alto rendimiento óptico, me di cuenta de que su diseño bien pensado ayuda en nuestro trabajo diario”.
Los exámenes clínicos juegan un papel importante en la atención médica. Nikon ha desarrollado un nuevo microscopio biológico, el ECLIPSE Ci-L plus, con el concepto de reducir el estrés físico y mental de los médicos y técnicos de laboratorio que utilizan microscopios a diario. En esta entrevista, hablamos con el Dr. Akira Yoshikawa del Departamento de Patología Anatómica del Centro Médico Kameda, un hospital insignia en la parte sur de la prefectura de Chiba, Japón, sobre su pensamiento después de emplear este microscopio y la lente de objetivo recientemente desarrollada para microscopía ‘CFI Plan Apochromat Lambda D’ para un uso práctico diario.

Reproduction Clinic Tokyo
“Encontrar los mejores espermatozoides entre millones. Es el singular trabajo de selección de los embriólogos, y lo asumimos con mucha responsabilidad”.
Reproduction Clinic Tokyo, clínica de tratamientos de fertilidad ubicada en el tercer piso del Shiodome City Center, un moderno edificio de la zona de Shiodome en el centro de Tokio, tiene un gran número de pacientes en espera de tratamiento, incluso durante la noche los días de semana. Hablamos con Shimpei Mizuta y Tomohiro Maekawa, quienes utilizan el microscopio invertido Ti2 de Nikon para clasificación e inyección intracitoplasmática de espermatozoides (ICSI), para saber qué piensan de su trabajo y el microscopio.

Masato Nakagawa
So-called iPS cells are attracting considerable interest as pluripotent stem cells that may open up a whole new world of medicine. The Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA) at Kyoto University is pursuing a wide range of research activities that aim to realize regenerative medicine utilizing iPS cells. The Nikon BioStation CT cell culture observation system is being used in this iPS cell research and is contributing to its efficiency.
We were pleased to have had an opportunity to speak with Masato Nakagawa, who is engaged in iPS cell research at CiRA.
