Supporto all’attività didattica con ECLIPSE Ei
“È facile insegnare agli studenti come usarlo e anche loro lo trovano semplice da usare”
L'osservazione mediante microscopi svolge un ruolo estremamente importante nell'apprendimento delle basi della scienza. ECLIPSE Ei di Nikon è stato sviluppato come microscopio per uso didattico ed è infatti un “microscopio facile da usare anche per gli studenti che lo utilizzano per la prima volta”. Abbiamo visitato la professoressa Rika Izumi, docente di scienze presso la Rikkyo Niiza Junior and Senior High School, Saitama (Giappone), dove l'ECLIPSE Ei è disponibile nelle classi, per conoscere il background e le ragioni della scelta di questo microscopio, l'esperienza degli utenti e le reazioni degli studenti.

L'ECLIPSE Ci-L plus contribuisce ad eseguire esami clinici con più confort.
“Insieme alle elevate prestazioni ottiche, mi sono reso conto che il suo design accurato aiuta il nostro lavoro giornaliero.”
Gli esami clinici svolgono un ruolo importante nelle cure mediche. Nikon ha sviluppato un nuovo microscopio biologico, l'ECLIPSE Ci-L plus, con il concetto di ridurre lo sforzo fisico e mentale per i medici e i tecnici di laboratorio che utilizzano i microscopi quotidianamente. In questa intervista, abbiamo parlato con il Dr. Akira Yoshikawa del Dipartimento di Patologia Anatomica del Kameda Medical Center - un ospedale di punta nella parte meridionale della prefettura di Chiba, in Giappone - sulle sue considerazionidopo aver utilizzato questo microscopio e l’obiettivo per microscopi di nuova concezione ‘CFI Plan Apochromat Lambda D’ per un pratico uso quotidiano.

Reproduction Clinic Tokyo
“Trovare lo spermatozoo migliore tra milioni. Per gli embriologi si tratta di un lavoro di selezione esclusivo e sentiamo un forte senso di responsabilità.”
Al Reproduction Clinic Tokyo, una clinica per la fertilità situata al terzo piano del Shiodome City Center, un edificio a uso uffici all'avanguardia nella zona di Shiodome nel centro di Tokyo, si affida un alto numero di pazienti in attesa di cura, nei giorni feriali anche in orario serale. Abbiamo intervistato Shimpei Mizuta e Tomohiro Maekawa, che utilizzano il microscopio invertito Ti2 di Nikon per la selezione degli spermatozoi e l’iniezione intracitoplasmatica di sperma (ICSI), per scoprire il loro lavoro e le loro impressioni sul Ti2.

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.
