의학 분야에서 병리학자는 관찰을 확인하는 데 매우 중요한 역할을 합니다. 연구원들은 장시간 현미경으로 관찰하는 경우가 많기 때문에 신체적으로나 정신적으로 부담이 큽니다. 니콘은 이러한 스트레스를 완화하려는 목표로 병리학자들이 접안렌즈가 아닌 모니터를 통해 표본의 고해상도 이미지를 볼 수 있는 새로운 병리 검사용 현미경인 ECLIPSE Ui를 개발했습니다. 이 현미경을 평가한 도쿄대학 병원의 다케시 사사키 박사는 이 현미경에 대한 소감을 다음과 같이 말합니다.
*사사키 박사는 자신의 개인적인 경험을 바탕으로 이 현미경의 특징과 이 제품이 보여주는 임상적 유용성에 대해 의견을 보내주었습니다.

Observation utilizing microscopes plays an extremely important role in learning the basics of science. Nikon’s ECLIPSE Ei was developed as an educational-use microscope with the concept of being a ‘user-friendly microscope even for students operating it for the first time’. We visited Ms. Rika Izumi, a science teacher at Rikkyo Niiza Junior and Senior High School, Saitama, Japan, where the ECLIPSE Ei is available in the classrooms, to learn about the background and reasons for choosing this microscope, the user experience, and the reactions from students.
Clinical examinations play an important role in medical care. Nikon has developed a new biological microscope, the ECLIPSE Ci-L plus, with the concept of reducing physical and mental strain on clinicians and laboratory technicians who use microscopes on a daily basis. In this interview, we talked to Dr. Akira Yoshikawa from the Department of Anatomic Pathology, Kameda Medical Center – a flagship hospital in the southern part of Chiba prefecture, Japan – on his thoughts after employing this microscope and the newly developed objective lens for microscopes ‘CFI Plan Apochromat Lambda D’ for practical everyday use.

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.
