Abstract: A syringe is for an eye operation. The syringe has a syringe body, a plunger arranged in the syringe body so as to be displaceable in the syringe longitudinal direction, a viscoelastic chamber in which a viscoelastic is arranged, and a decomposition reagent chamber which is arranged separately from the viscoelastic chamber and in which a decomposition reagent is arranged for decomposing the viscoelastic. The syringe has a storage state, in which the viscoelastic and the decomposition reagent are arranged separately from one another, and a use state, into which the syringe is able to be put by longitudinally displacing the plunger and in which the viscoelastic and the decomposition reagent are mixed with one another.

Abstract: A microscopy system and method allow observing a fluorescent substance accumulated in a tissue. The tissue can be observed at a same time both with visible light and with fluorescent light. It is possible to observe a series of previously recorded fluorescent light images in superposition with the visible light images. An end of the series of images may be automatically determined. A thermal protective filter may be inserted into a beam path of an illuminating system at such automatically determined end of the series. Further, the fluorescent light image may be analyzed for identifying a coherent fluorescent portion thereof. A representation of a periphery line of the coherent portion may be generated, and depths profile data may be obtained only from the coherent portion. An illuminating light beam for exciting the fluorescence may be modulated for improving a contrast of fluorescent images.

Abstract: A surgical microscope has an illuminating arrangement for illuminating light in an operating region to be examined with the surgical microscope. The arrangement contains a high-power light source which includes an intensity adjusting device. The device makes possible an adjustment of the intensity of the illuminating light, which is guided to the object region, between a maximum value and a minimum value. The microscope has a control unit for the illuminating arrangement which includes an operator-controlled module via which the illuminating arrangement can be activated and controlled. For adjusting the intensity of the illuminating light guided to the operating region, the control unit coacts with the adjustable filter unit. A signal generator outputs a warning signal when an intensity of the illuminating light is adjusted via the operator-controlled module which exceeds the safety limit value stored in a memory.

Abstract: A stereo-examination system including an objective arrangement configured to receive an object-side beam bundle emanating from the object plane and to convert the object-side beam bundle into an image-side beam bundle and a selection arrangement configured to select at least one pair of partial beam bundles from the image side beam bundle. The system also includes an image transmission apparatus configured to generate stereoscopic images of an object positionable in the object plane from the at least one pair of partial beam bundles and an illumination arrangement. The illumination arrangement includes a light source, a beam coupler to superpose a beam cross-section of the illumination beam with the image-side beam bundle, and a field of a plurality of state-changing elements. The elements are selectively switchable between a first state directed and a second state in which light of the illumination beam is and is not directed to the object plane.

Abstract: A tooth is irradiated with light (5), in particular with visible light for identifying tooth-coloured tooth filling residues (3) of the tooth. The light with which the irradiation procedure is effected includes at least one wavelength component that is absorbed or scattered by the tooth filling material differently from the tooth material in such a way that the tooth filling material differs from the tooth material in respect of its brightness or in respect of its colour. Thus the identification of tooth filling residues (3) can be effected in such a way that the dentist can recognise the tooth filling residues (3) with the naked eye, or possibly with the assistance of simple technical aids such as for example a colour filter.
