An international team of researchers has developed a silicon brain probe that can gather neuronal activity at an unprecedented resolution. The device, called Neuropixel, described in the latest version of Nature, is a thin needle with an unbelievable 960 electrodes that record brain signals. The resolution is at a single neuron level. Because at 10 mm the device is relatively long, it can be placed across perhaps the entire mouse brain to monitor both high density localized activity, as well as what’s happening across a larger part of the brain, to probe the connections and relationships that exist between different areas.

Olympus is releasing its latest surgical microscope, the 4K-3D ORBEYE video microscope. The device was developed by a joint venture called Sony Olympus Medical Solutions. The system comes with an accompanying 4K-3D 55-inch monitor, allowing surgeons to look directly at the screen rather than a microscope eyepiece and for the rest of the clinical staff to be aware of what’s going on. There’s not even the eyepiece option, as the only thing the adjustable arm keeps elevated is the lens and digital sensors.The microscope relies on two Sony 4K ExmorRTM CMOS sensors and an image processor that maintains proper contrast and color accuracy. They work in real-time, providing a lag-free view of the working space.Not having a bulky traditional microscopy setup clears up the area above the surgical field, making it easier to get around and to set things up. The entire system is itself smaller than the previous comparable model from the company, making it easy to wheel in and out of the OR as necessary
