Abstract:
The instant invention relates to an altered flower shape in plants belonging to the genera Osteospermum and Dimorphoteca, which is induced by a mutant allele, as well as to the method of breeding Osteospermum and Dimorphoteca plants having this altered flower shape.
Abstract:
A microscope having a night vision apparatus, which apparatus can be impinged upon by beam paths proceeding from a specimen or object to be observed.
Abstract:
An illumination device for a microscope, in particular for an operation microscope, has a light source with an improved lifetime. The light source is in the form of a gas discharge lamp having a microwave generator, a microwave waveguide and an electrodeless bulb. The bulb contains a luminescent material and is coupled to the microwave waveguide so that microwaves can stimulate the luminescent material to emit light.
Abstract:
A precoat filter for filtering liquid media or products, in particular for filtering beverages, with at least one partition separating an unfiltered material space and a filtered material space, and with a plurality of filtering elements or candle filters which are arranged on the partition and each project into the unfiltered material space by means of at least one filtering or sieving section having a filtering or sieving structure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image stabilization device which is particularly space-efficient and has a quick response time, and which is integrated into an image capture device for an image capture system of a surgical microscope, including a carrier substrate (101, 102) defining a sensor plane, a plurality of optoelectronic image capturing cells (110) arranged, in particular, in a matrix array; and at least one moving means (120) for moving the optoelectronic image capturing cells (110) relative to the carrier substrate (101, 102).

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an illuminating apparatus for an operating microscope comprising two observation beam paths (152, 154) for a first observer (main surgeon) and two observation beam paths (156, 158) for a second observer (assisting surgeon), comprising an illuminating system (102; 106a, 108a, 172) and deflecting means (118, 120, 170), for deflecting light emanating from the illumination system onto an object (200) that is to be observed, wherein the deflecting device comprises a first deflecting element (118) which is associated with a first observation beam path (152) of the first observer and a first observation beam path (156) of the second observer, and a second deflecting element (120) which is associated with a second observation beam path (154) of the first observer and a second observation beam path (158) of the second observer.
Abstract:
A microscope and a method for illuminating an object to be imaged by a microscope are described. The method includes illuminating the object by primary light of a first spectral intensity distribution and by secondary light of a second spectral intensity distribution, the secondary light arising from the scattering of the primary light; measuring the intensity of at least one wavelength of the secondary light; comparing at least one of the measured intensity and a value derived from this measured intensity to a threshold value; and generating a signal indicating a change in the spectral intensity distribution of the secondary light by indicating whether the at least one of the measured intensity and value derived from this measured intensity either exceed or stay below the predefined threshold value.
Abstract:
An illumination device for a light microscope with an objective, in particular for a stereo-microscope, illuminates an object plane of the light microscope. An illumination beam path of the illumination device is defined by a light source, a field diaphragm, illumination optics with at least one illumination lens, and at least one deflection element. The object plane of the microscope is obliquely illuminated with incident illumination, wherein an axis of the illumination beam path forms an angle β greater than 0° with an optical axis of the objective. The field diaphragm, the illumination optics and the deflection element are arranged and orientated relative to one another such that a diaphragm plane which is defined by the field diaphragm, an illumination lens plane defined by the illumination lens, and an image plane of the image of the field diaphragm, which is produced by the illumination optics, without deflection by the deflection element, intersect at least approximately along a common straight line and that the image plane of the image of the field diaphragm which is produced by the illumination optics and which is deflected by the deflection element, runs in or parallel to the object plane. Sharp, undistorted imaging of the field diaphragm into the object plane or into a plane running parallel thereto is achieved.
