Dr. Kevin Richetin

Our Nikon Microscopy Ambassador Dr. Kevin Richein is a neuroscience researcher studying Alzheimer’s disease and the development of tools for neurodegenerative diseases. In this interview video, Dr. Richetin discusses how they chose the Nikon microscope because its software NIS-Elements allows seamless integration of analysis and automation. He emphasizes that this unique capability is incredibly valuable for tracking particles with extremely high resolution over extended periods, a feature that sets Nikon apart.

A step up in digital pathology using innovative digital microscopy.

Kitasato University Kitasato Institute Hospital
Director, Department of Pathology
Dr. Ichiro Maeda

Currently there are various treatment methods under development that could provide optimal medical care in response to the pathological attributes of each patient. Therefore, the role required of pathological diagnosis, which is indispensable for the planning of treatment policies and strategies, is becoming more important than ever before. However, the shortage of trained pathologists who assume this role is a common issue, not only in Japan, but also worldwide. To solve this problem, digital pathology has been attracting attention. In this article, we asked Dr. Ichiro Maeda, Director of the Department of Pathology, Kitasato University Kitasato Institute Hospital, for his impressions of using the digital image display optical microscope "ECLIPSE Ui".

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

“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.

Auxiliando os estudos em sala de aula com o ECLIPSE Ei

“É fácil ensinar aos alunos como manusear o microscópio – e eles também acham simples de usar”

A observação por meio de microscópios desempenha um papel extremamente importante no aprendizado dos fundamentos da ciência. O ECLIPSE Ei da Nikon foi desenvolvido como um microscópio de uso educacional, com o objetivo de ser um 'microscópio fácil de manusear, mesmo para estudantes que o operam pela primeira vez'. Visitamos a Sra. Rika Izumi – professora de ciências da Rikkyo Niiza Junior and Senior High School, Saitama, Japão, onde o ECLIPSE Ei está disponível nas salas de aula – para conhecer o histórico e os motivos da escolha desse microscópio, a experiência do usuário e as reações dos alunos.

O ECLIPSE Ci-L plus contribui para examinações clínicas mais confortáveis.

“Juntamente com o alto desempenho óptico, percebi que seu design cuidadoso ajuda nosso trabalho diário.”

Os exames clínicos desempenham um papel importante na assistência médica. A Nikon desenvolveu um novo microscópio para análises biológicas, o ECLIPSE Ci-L plus, com o conceito de reduzir o esforço físico e mental dos médicos e técnicos de laboratório que utilizam microscópios diariamente. Nesta entrevista, conversamos com o Dr. Akira Yoshikawa do Departamento de Anatomia Patológica, Kameda Medical Center – um hospital de referência na parte sul da província de Chiba, Japão – sobre seus pensamentos após empregar, no uso prático diário, esse microscópio e as lentes objetivas recém-desenvolvidas da série ‘CFI Plan Apochromat Lambda D’.
