Abstract
A method of video-recording is described with an intention to visualize the micro-dissection stereoscopically. This is made by twin TV-cameras of extremely light weight, which are mounted on the stereomicroscope by use of tine-adapters at both ends of beam-splitter. The images are montaged on one monitor screen by the wipe mode of effect amplifier in such a way that the right image appears in the left half and the left one in the right of the screen. To do this, however, cameras have to be shifted to either side to such an extent that the centre of each image is away from that of the screen by one quarter the total width. Now the stereoscopical image can be recorded on one videotape, instead of two, and important still, without any synchronization trouble which is otherwise a nuisance. Since the screen has to be observed by crossed or converged eyesight, preferably by a number of observers at a time, special prism glasses have been developed and some feasible tips for observation suggested. The authors also discuss the purposes and effects of this method and possible improvements in the instrument design.
