Diagnosing Tuberculosis Using Special Microscope

Jun 12 2008

Together with the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND), Carl Zeiss has developed a special microscope to improve the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
Compared to the traditional tuberculosis diagnosing technique by Ziehl- Neelsen staining, diagnosis with the Primo Star iLED fluorescence microscope is four times faster with a ten percent improvement in sensitivity. The market launch of this new fluorescence microscope has been scheduled for October. The outstanding feature of the new microscope is its energy-saving LED illumination, which is specially tailored to the conditions in the countries concerned. FIND and Carl Zeiss will sell the Primo Star iLED at a reduced price to 22 developing countries defined by the WHO World Health Organisation.
