A Microvascular Surgeon’s View: How MyVeo Transforms Visualization

In this article, Dr. Andrew T. Huang, MD, FACS, otolaryngologist and a head and neck reconstructive surgeon, shares how digital 3D surgical visualization with the MyVeo headset from Leica Microsystems…

Optic nerve regeneration in the Xenopus laevis tadpole.

A Novel Laser-Based Method for Studying Optic Nerve Regeneration

Optic nerve regeneration is a major challenge in neurobiology due to the limited self-repair capacity of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and the inconsistency of traditional injury models.…

Fluorescence microscopy of sectioned tissue, showing the interface between the extensor digitorum longus muscle and the common peroneal nerve in the adult rat. Regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) at 2 weeks. Image acquired using Mica. Stained for nuclei (blue), neurofilaments (green) and S100B (red).

Capturing Developmental Dynamics in 3D

This application note showcases how the Viventis Deep dual-view light sheet microscope was successfully used by researchers for exploring high-resolution, long-term imaging of 3D multicellular models…

Some 2D measurements, e.g., lengths and areas, made on a PCB sample with a Leica measurement microscope using the Enersight software.

How to Select the Right Measurement Microscope

With a measurement microscope, users can measure the size and dimensions of sample features in both 2D and 3D, something crucial for inspection, QC, failure analysis, and R&D. However, choosing the…
