Brief Introduction to High-Pressure Freezing for Cryo-Fixation

Preparation of biological specimens for electron microscopy (EM) often requires cryo-fixation which does not introduce significant structural alterations of cellular constituents. A common method used…

Advanced Visualization in Head and Neck Reconstructive Surgery

PRS surgeons and maxillofacial specialists face unique challenges in reconstructive procedures, particularly when operating in deep, narrow cavities and working with delicate tissues. Achieving…

Advanced Visualization: Transforming Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Over the past decade, spine surgery has evolved rapidly with the adoption of minimally invasive surgery (MISS) techniques. These approaches reduce surgical trauma, speed up recovery, and help improve…

Advanced Visualization in ENT Surgery: Prof. Darrouzet’s Expert Insights

Otologic surgery demands exceptional precision when working within the confined spaces of the middle and inner ear. Procedures such as tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy, and cochlear implant placement…

Infinity Optical Systems - From “Infinity Optics” to the Infinity Port

“Infinity Optics” is the concept of a light path with parallel rays between the objective and tube lens of a microscope [1]. Placing flat optical components into this “infinity space” which do not…
