Endocytoscopy
Endoscopic Observation on Cell Level
Endoscopic Observation on Cell Level
By introducing Endocyto, Olympus has broken new ground in endoscopy. Ultra-high magnification of up to 520x enables observation at the microscopic level and helps to improve diagnostic accuracy by allowing real-time in vivo observation of cells and nuclei.
How Does Endocytoscopy Work?
- The zoom lever moves the optical system to provide magnification of up to 520x
- Emmited light is scattered through the mucosa and received by the objective lens
- The stained nuclei partially absorb the scattered light and therefore create a strong contrast between the cell and the nucleus
- Direct oberservation of cells and nuclei in real time contribute to better clinical results and streamlined treatment decisions
