For the three „global killer diseases", HIV/ AIDS, TB and Malaria, fast and reliable diagnosis is crucial for modern laboratory practices. In resource-limited settings, for example, TB is diagnosed by using sputum smears with microscopy for which fluorescence based microscopic techniques have shown to be much more sensitive than transmitted light microscopy, where M. tuberculosis bacilli in a significant number of cases are not seen. The unique portable/ mobile and battery-operated CyScope for transmitted light and fluorescence microscopy features highest sensitivity optical systems and a high power LED technology, ensuring excellent fluorescence excitation and emission efficiency as well as highest contrast and image quality. Due to its advanced high optical quality, the CyScope can be easily used also outside of dark rooms which are necessarily required for conventional fluorescence microscopes. Due to modern LED technology, any needs for lamp bulb replacement and light source realignment are eliminated.
