View videos of two membrane peel cases captured with intrasurgical OCT

When treating patients with vitreomacular traction (VMT), peeling of the inner limiting membrane (ILM) or an epiretinal membrane (ERM) is often indicated. Successful outcomes depend on precise surgical maneuvers as well as the surgeon’s experience in order to assess whether the entire membrane has been removed, as this is crucial for successful release of traction....

Pinhole Effect in Confocal Microscopes

Lens-based optical instruments are mainly concerned with two parameters: the lens curvature and the diameter. The curvature defines in which directions parallel rays are deflected, the diameter defines how much of those rays contribute to the resulting image. The diameter could simply be the frame of the lens, in many cases it is a separate... Read more

On-Demand Webinar: Quality with Confidence – What you need to know about digital microscopes for medical device quality processes

Digital microscopes – without eyepieces – are being used more frequently for quality inspection because of their ease of use, enhanced capabilities in 2D and 3D analysis, and reliable and repeatable results. This webinar from Leica will clear up common misconceptions about digital magnification, resolution and megapixels, and explain why optics in digital microscopes are... Read more
