“I believe this can change conventional imaging for pathologists”

Takeshi Sasaki
Professor, Project Leader, M.D. Ph.D
The University of Tokyo Hospital
Dept. of Next-Generation Pathology Information Networking

In medicine, pathologists play an extremely important role in confirming observation. They are often making observations with a microscope for long periods of time and the physical and mental burden of this is heavy. Aiming to reduce such stress issues for pathologists, Nikon has developed a new microscope for pathological examination, the ECLIPSE Ui, which allows pathologists to view high-resolution images of specimens on a monitor, rather than looking through eyepieces. Here, Dr. Takeshi Sasaki of the University of Tokyo Hospital, who has evaluated this microscope, talks about his impressions of it.

*Dr. Sasaki has provided feedback to Nikon on this microscope’s features and clinical usefulness based on his own personal experience.

Soutenir les études en classe avec l'ECLIPSE Ei

"Il est facile d'enseigner aux étudiants comment l'utiliser, et ils le trouvent également simple à utiliser"

L'observation à l'aide de microscopes joue un rôle extrêmement important dans l'apprentissage des bases de la science. L'ECLIPSE Ei de Nikon a été développé en tant que microscope à usage pédagogique avec le concept d'être un « microscope convivial même pour les étudiants qui l'utilisent pour la première fois ». Nous avons rendu visite à Mme Rika Izumi, professeur de sciences à l’école secondaire de premier et deuxième cycle de Rikkyo Niiza, Saitama, Japon, où l'ECLIPSE Ei est disponible dans les salles de classe, pour en savoir plus sur le contexte et les raisons du choix de ce microscope, l'expérience utilisateur et les réactions des élèves.

L'ECLIPSE Ci-L plus contribue à des examens cliniques plus confortables.

“Avec la haute performance optique, j'ai réalisé que sa conception réfléchie facilite notre travail quotidien“

Les examens cliniques jouent un rôle important dans les soins médicaux. Nikon a développé un nouveau microscope biologique, l'ECLIPSE Ci-L plus, avec le concept de réduire la fatigue physique et mentale des cliniciens et des techniciens de laboratoire qui utilisent quotidiennement des microscopes. Dans cette entrevue, nous avons parlé au Dr Akira Yoshikawa du Département de pathologie anatomique du Kameda Medical Center - un hôpital phare dans la partie sud de la préfecture de Chiba, au Japon - de ses réflexions après avoir utilisé ce microscope et l'objectif nouvellement développé pour les microscopes 'CFI Plan Apochromat Lambda D' pour une utilisation pratique au quotidien.

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.
