High-resolution 3D optics [JB19.1]with enhanced depth of field [JB20.1]allow surgeons to clearly identify and safely dissect perforators and perform delicate vessel anastomoses. Mr Dariush Nikkhah. DIEP surgery London.

DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Microsurgical Visualization

DIEP flap breast reconstruction is an autologous microsurgical procedure that depends on precise vessel dissection, anastomosis and perfusion assessment [1]. This article discusses how surgical…
Cryo-confocal fluorescence imaging of the milled lamella on the TEM grid after cryo-FIB preparation. Residual fluorescence signal confirms that the targeted region of interest—containing malaria parasite structures—has been successfully retained during lamella preparation, supporting accurate correlation between cryo-fluorescence microscopy and cryo-electron microscopy workflows.

Fluorescence-Guided Cryo-ET of Malaria Parasites

Correlative cryo workflow with cryo-planing and cryo-fluorescence imaging enables targeted cryo-ET of parasite-rich regions in complex tissue.
