Guy's surgeon requests help with 3D microscope
KCLEA has received an unusual request for help, from Guy's Hospital:
“Hi, I'm one of the surgeons at Guys. We use an operating microscope which was fitted with a 3D camera system when new in 1999. The system broke 5 years ago, and the manufacturer, Leica, say that they do not support this machine (only 6 were made as a trial). Do you think anyone in your engineering community might be able to help us with this or know someone who could? Its not as simple as fitting a new camera as the camera is integrated into the microscope, taking a feed from each eyepiece. Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated.”
If anyone thinks they might be able to help, or offer advice, please contact the President or the Webmaster.
