Function
The optional accessory GLOW800 enables the surgeon to excite and
observe Near Infrared (NIR) fluorescence (FL) of the fluorophore
(ICG) with the surgical microscopes M530 OH6, M530 OHX or ARveo.
When activating the
GLOW800
the Leica microscope stand (Leica OH6, Leica OHX or ARveo) is
extended to InfraRed (IR) to excite the fluorophore (ICG).
The filtered NIR fluorescence signal of the fluorophore (ICG) is
acquired by a NIR sensitive video camera in the GLOW800 ULT and
processed in the GLOW800 VPU.
