Context: The Army Hospital (Research and Referral), New Delhi, used a 3D microscope for the first time in India for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.

About Microscope:

• What It Is?

• A microscope is an instrument used to magnify small objects, enabling visualization beyond the naked eye’s limit.

• Science Working Principle:

• Operates by refraction, diffraction, or digital imaging of light or electrons to magnify samples. Lenses or sensors focus light or electrons to create an enlarged image of tiny structures.

• Lenses or sensors focus light or electrons to create an enlarged image of tiny structures.

• Types:

• Optical Microscope: Uses visible light and glass lenses. Electron Microscope: Uses beams of electrons (e.g., TEM, SEM). Digital Microscope: Captures and displays digital images. 3D Microscope: Provides three-dimensional visualization across different depths.

About 3D Microscope:

• What It Is?

• A 3D digital microscope captures multiple focal planes, creating a three-dimensional, high-resolution image of the sample.

• How It Works:

• Utilizes special 3D polarisation glasses and a 55-inch 4K Ultra-HD display. Scans several focal layers to reconstruct a detailed, spatial 3D model. Reduces light exposure needs, thus minimizing photo-toxicity during surgeries.
