Abstract

Recent advances in the development of new microscopical techniques with single-molecule sensitivity have given access to essentially new types of information on biological systems. In this review, basic methodological concepts of ultra-sensitive microscopy are presented and characterized, with focus on their applicability for a bioanalytical instrument. Measurements on artificial lipid bilayers were used to evaluate the feasibility of this novel technology. First examples of single molecule microscopy on cell membranes revealed new basic insights into the lateral organization of the plasma membrane.

Innovations in phacoemulsification technology.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: A working knowledge of the principles guiding recent technologic upgrades in phacoemulsification units will help the surgeon to maximize clinical benefits from the latest machines. RECENT FINDINGS: Reduced thermal energy combined with more efficient emulsification resulting from microfractionation of ultrasound energy, and improved chamber stability from automatic fluidic adjustments are achievable with the recent technological advances. SUMMARY: Improved safety and efficiency can be achieved with the most current advances in phacoemulsification technology.

Thoracoscopy: origins revisited.

The ways in which thoracoscopy has evolved wonderfully illustrate how a diagnostic and therapeutic technique can transcend a particular medical or surgical subspecialty. In this review, an in-depth history is provided to enable readers to better understand the nature of minimally invasive endoscopic pleural imaging techniques.
