Abstract: An optical system for fluorescence observation comprises optics including an ocular 17, a camera 55, a display 69, a light source 71, an illumination light filter 84, an observation light filter 57 and a controller 35. The observation filter has multiple transmitting regions which allows light which was generated by a fluorescence to traverse for observation. The transmitting ranges are divided by blocking ranges. At the wavelength ranges at which the observation filter has a transmitting region the illumination filter has a blocking region and the other way round. The multiple transmitting regions of the illumination filter enable an improved color impression under normal light observation. The controller is configured to process a fluorescent light image obtained by the camera by identifying a contiguous fluorescent region in the fluorescent light image, generating an image including a representation of the boundary of the contiguous fluorescent region, and supplying the generated image to the display.

The observation light filter has plural transmitting regions (D1O,D2O) allowing fluorescent light to traverse the observation light filter. Blocking regions (S0O,S1O) separate the transmitting regions. The illumination light filter has transmitting regions (D0I,D1I) where the observation light filter has a corresponding blocking region. The illumination light filter has blocking regions (S1I,S2I) where the observation light filter has a corresponding transmitting region. The plural transmitting regions of the illumination light filter hallow for an improved color impression in the normal light observation.

Abstract: A medical apparatus includes a control device, a motion sensor, via which a motion value is determinable, a position sensor, via which an angular position in space is detectable, and a time measuring device, via which a time interval is determinable. The control device is embodied in such a way that a switch-off signal is producible if, during the entire time interval, the motion value remains below a threshold and, at the same time, the position sensor detects an inclination angle relative to a repository plane that lies in a defined repository angle range.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an apparatus for finding a functional tissue area in a tissue region. The apparatus has a measurement illuminating device suitable for emitting measurement illumination to the tissue region and a camera which can capture light reflected by the tissue region. The camera has a green channel and/or a blue channel wherein there is a change in an optical property of the light reflected by the tissue region during the stimulation thereof which is undertaken at least intermittently. An evaluation unit captures the change in the optical property only by a signal of the green channel and/or of the blue channel of the camera. A display unit can display an output signal of the evaluation unit for the functional tissue area in the tissue region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for visualizing characteristic tissue with a colorant in a surgical region. The system contains a detection unit which detects light from at least one object point in the surgical region. The system has a computer unit which is connected to the detection unit and drives a visualization unit which displays an image of an area in the surgical region. The computer unit determines the color coordinate in a color space with respect to the light from a point from the object point in the surgical region. Depending on the position of the color coordinate determined with respect to the object point, the computer unit calculates a color coordinate information (“0”, “1”) for controlling the visualization unit by comparing information concerning the determined color coordinate of the object point with information concerning a characteristic reference color coordinate.
