Optical methods for intelligent illumination of stained biological samples.

ZOE

Patent No. NC2018/0007279, Colombia (Granted).

The invention is based on an intelligent illumination method and can be used in the health field. This technology improves the observation of images of biological samples using the electronic generation of the complementary color, which results in a contrast enhancement that allows a better evaluation of the studied samples, becoming a new complementary device for medical diagnosis.

Health

Laboratories / biology / medicine (pathology, ophthalmology, microscopic endodontics) / medical diagnostics (colposcopy, endoscopy, otoscopy).

Automatic color selection that maximizes sample contrast; easy attachment to viewing instrument; manual or automatic mode; control of color, intensity and contrast; can be controlled by mobile device or remotely via the internet.

Improves the visualization of biological samples stained with histological dyes such as Hematoxylin – Eosin (H – E), among others.
It allows the visualization and contrast of the tissue area of interest through endoscopy, and in similar applications where the visualization of the sample is enhanced by illuminating with light of a specific color chosen by the examiner or by the system.
Can generate any color in the visible range.
Maximizes contrast by automatic calculation of complementary color.
It has two modes of use: manual or automatic.
Reduces and optimizes observation and diagnosis times.
