TRAVEL BUG MICROSCOPY
Chasing Tiny Monsters
Although you may not know it, laboratories often fail to detect pathogens. Machines will scan your blood for antibodies, but no one actually looks at your blood in person. Microbeon comes to the rescue with an old and almost forgotten technology that was already used over 250 years ago: Dark-field microscopy enables us to detect abnormalities in the blood that are not found in a regular laboratory test. The results can help your doctor choose the right therapy for your condition.
Microbeon offers microscopic images and videos of your living blood. Unlike bright-field microscopy, where samples are usually stained, which causes the bacteria to die, this is not necessary for examination with a dark-field microscope. In this way, we can experience how living organisms behave in the blood and carry out experiments such as host simulations.
