Researchers at the University of Arizona biomedical engineering and surgery departments published the study in the Journal of Biomedical Optics.
Here are five things to know:
1. Neurosurgeons are able to see real objects with the augmented stereomicroscope as well as computer images.
2. The technology places diagnostic images, like blood flow, over real objects, like blood vessels, in the surgeon’s view.
3. The microscope offers a three-dimensional stereoscopic picture, not provided by digital systems.
4. The new microscope won’t lose traditional aspects, such as magnification, focus and camera mounting.
5. The study authors believe the microscope will be useful for laser surgery and brain tumor treatment.
