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’.

Reproduction Clinic Tokyo (Clínica de Reprodução Tóquio)
“Encontrar o melhor esperma entre milhões. Para os embriologistas, este é o trabalho exclusivo de seleção e sentimos um grande senso de responsabilidade”.
Reproduction Clinic Tokyo, uma clínica de fertilidade localizada no terceiro andar do Shiodome City Center, um edifício de escritórios de última geração na área de Shiodome, no centro de Tóquio, tem um constantemente grande número de pacientes aguardando tratamento, mesmo nas noites dos dias úteis. Conversamos com Shimpei Mizuta e Tomohiro Maekawa, que estão usando o microscópio invertido Ti2 da Nikon para classificação de esperma e injeção intracitoplasmática de esperma (ICSI), a respeito de seu trabalho e suas impressões sobre o 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.
