  • Publication number: 20240069018
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for selecting an expressed sequence from a library, comprising the following steps: Each of a plurality of eukaryotic cells comprising a cell wall comprises a nucleic acid sequence member of a library, which is expressed as a target membrane protein in said eukaryotic cells. The cell wall of the cells is permeabilized. The penneabilized cells are labeled with a ligand capable of binding to the target membrane protein. The ligand bears a detectable label. A subset of the labelled cells is selected as a function of detectable label present. Finally, an expressed nucleic acid sequence is isolated from said selection of cells in an isolation step.

  • Publication number: 20230404700
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to a surgical microscope system, and in particular, to an arm for a surgical microscope system. The surgical microscope system comprises an optics carrier comprising optical components of a microscope of the surgical microscope system. The surgical microscope system comprises a display device for displaying image data recorded by an optical imaging sensor of the surgical microscope system. The surgical microscope system comprises an arm. The arm comprises a first section and a second section. The first section is configured to provide a vertical and/or lateral adjustment of the position of the optics carrier. The second section is attached to a suspension point of the first section and to the optics carrier.

  • Publication number: 20230019054
    Abstract: Examples relate to a surgical microscope system, and to a system, a method and a computer program for a surgical microscope system. The system comprises one or more processors and one or more storage devices. The system is configured to obtain intraoperative sensor data of at least a portion of an eye from a Doppler-based imaging sensor of the surgical microscope system. The system is configured to process the intraoperative sensor data to determine information on a blood flow within the eye. The system is configured to generate a visualization of the blood flow. The system is configured to provide a display signal to a display device of the surgical microscope system based on the visualization of the blood flow within the eye.

  • Publication number: 20130327902
    Abstract: A stand for carrying a load, in particular a surgical microscope, having a first number N of pivot bearings, pivotable at pivot axes (120a-120g), for making available a pivotability of a number of arms (130a-130e) of the stand, and/or of a mount (140) provided on an arm for the load to be carried, relative to one another, such that in order to lock in place a desired pivot position, the pivot bearings can be acted upon at least in part by means of lockable and releasable brakes (125a-125h), where as a result of a first actuation of an actuation device (160, 162) a number n of pivot bearings, such that n?N, is releasable; and as a result of a second actuation of the actuation device (160, 162) a number n? of the pivot bearings, such that n?<n, is re-lockable.
