Motherhood. We all have a vision in mind of what it's supposed to look like: warm, nurturing, saccharine, even beatific. Even the messier versions we allow — frazzled new parent anxiety, daylight zombies — still position the mother as with-it and in control. But what about the mothers who are anything but in control?

I see them pop up every once and a while, figured I go hunting for parts.
Just looking for a RIMS tube with the following (all SS)
1.5" tee x2
1.5" to .5" brushing x3
1.5" to 1" brushing
1500w ULWD Element (that will fit into the tube)
SS Camlock style F x3
U-bolts to mount the tube
I would also be interested in buying these parts separately if anyone has anything lying around.
The best beer I ever made was the next one I brew.
I just found a great source for 1.5" (or even 2") parts. PM me if you're interested and what you're looking to spend, I'll let you know if I can make it happen. I purchased a set myself and would be happy to pick-up and ship. Seems everything would fit in a Medium USPS flat rate. I can look into the element and u-bolts as well. Everything would be new, but at what seems to be a really good price.
Wish you would've came along about 4 days ago
I'm curious about your source ATJ, I'm looking to get my RIMs tube built soon and if you have a secret better than Murray, I would love to hear about it!
The hardest part of all-grain brewing is arguing about it on the interwebs.http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tims-C...9089362?ref=hl
I got all mine from (I think) buyfittingsonline
Local store in Detroit, MI area. Don't think they're on-line, but I could pickup and ship (until Tuesday when my visit ends). Shoot me a PM.
S4N11/2X8 $13.14 x 1 = $13.14
S4T11/2 $14.70 x 2 = $29.40
S4B11/2X1/2 $5.93 x 3 =$17.79
S4B11/2X1 $5.50 x 1 = $5.50
Total $65.83
Web Discount*($1.32)
This is what I am looking at with Murray, but I haven't decided what length nipple to use yet. The element I currently have is about 13.5" long (4500w240v low density, to be run at 120v) but I might have to look into shorter elements as I also have 4" pt100's coming in the mail and I am concerned about fitting it all together. I hate to drop the coin only to say "oh sh!t."
That's about what I'm at, just a little more. Nipples and Tees are cheaper for me, but bushings are cheaper at Murrays.
Guess the biggest deal for me is no shipping and immediate access.
Which is awesome for you. My local suppliers would have to order the parts in and are more expensive than Murray, so I have to turn to the interwebs. Thanks for the offer boss! What lengths are you looking at using? How long is your element?

Stop in for a day, a week or a month, Riverplace RV is a little slice of heaven located right on the Rouge River! The park is tight and there is no dog run, but it is beautifully manicured and run by wonderful couple who are very personable and professional. We stayed here for one week in a river site with our two dogs. The nights were peaceful and the few longterm RV sites were neat and orderly. Lots of grass and beautiful roses decorate the grounds. I fly fished for Steelhead almost everyday with great success! We look forward to our next visit! We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Crater Lake and Diamond Lake are wonderful if the season is right! Be sure they are open before you make the drive! And if you mountain bike or hike, Cathedral Hills is a not to miss! My dogs loved the off leash trails amongst the Madrone Trees as much as I did.
Date of Stay: November, 2014 - $33.00
Great park! We were very happy to find this gem of a park. Nicely treed which really helps keep the heat of the day away. We had an interior spot off the Rogue river but it is a really easy walk to it. Convenient to stores, medical. The lots are tight with cement pads. Some pads are in need of repair. Wifi ok. Cable is great. Park hosts are wonderful and very helpful even helping folks park their rigs. No pull-thrus. The only negative is the stairs leading to the bathroom/laundry--they are somewhat difficult to navigate (I have arthritic knees). Laundry rates are very reasonable (1.50 wash, 1.00 dry). Again, great place with great hosts. Beautiful park. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $40.00
Small number of sites very close to each other. Some right on river, for which you pay more. Same old TengoInternet worthless Internet. Cell service good. Cable worked well. Had the feeling of being cramped. Well kept and clean. Not really suitable for bigger rigs. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2014 - $40.00
We stayed at Riverpark RV Resort this last week. The park was nice but I have one real big issue. We rated them (1) for poor because they are not in ADA compliant. My wife is disable and uses a mobility scooter. When we arrived we asked where the bathrooms and showers were located. We were directed directly behind their office showing us the stairs going up the hill to the bathroom. I informed them my wife cannot climb those stairs that she is disabled and uses a scooter. The office staff responded that was the only way up. My wife never was able to climb the stairs. I asked the office staff later why they did not have a ramp that goes to the bathroom that they are not ADA compliant. Their staff responded that they are a private park and that the ADA requirement does not apply to them. Unless you are camping in a government campground all of the RV parks are privately owned. Because you are privately owned does not exempt you from the law. No where on there web side does it state they are not in ADA compliance. We would have never stay at this park for 4 days if we had known this information. Your bathrooms need to assessable to everyone. Don't discriminate! We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2014 - $40.00
The park is very clean and well run. The sites are level and the staff is frindley and easy to deal with. Only drawback is the sites are very close together. Our site was long enough for our 38' 5th wheel and tow vehicle without unhooking. The staff member who helped us park was knowledgeable about RVs and getting them to fit into small spaces without damage. The site next to us had a Class A with it's awning out and we were inches from it while backing in. Will probably not stay here again just because of the size of our rig and the small sites. The interior roads were designed so that the large rigs can get around with little or no trouble and there were several 40' Class A motorhones in the park. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: May, 2014 - $40.00
The riverfront sites are great; you back right up to the river. Wi-Fi and Verizon cell good, satellite TV easy to set up. Lots of green grass and flowers, a very clean park. The downside is some of the riverfront sites are very tight. When we stepped out of the RV we were standing on the neighbor's sewer hookup. There was room behind the site on the grass to sit and enjoy the river. We did have a little issue with the sewer backing up when we dumped our tanks. We had to dump the black tank slowly. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: May, 2014 - $30.00
Almost hate to put up this review as we want to keep this place to ourselves. That said, this is a wonderful little park right on the Rogue River. We stayed here 4 days and although we were unable to get a riverfront site, we could still hear the river and were just a few steps away from it. We were there over Memorial weekend and it was completely full. Would love to go back when it's not a holiday weekend. Some sites are a little tight, but folks were considerate and it was quiet at night. Lots of trees and great scenery. Staff is friendly, helpful and available. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: April, 2014 - $36.00
We had a fabulous view from bank of Rogue River and enjoyed hearing the sound of nearby gentle rapids at night. Small park; lush grassy areas at all sites; level concrete pads, only a few needing repair. The whole place is well cared for. Great homey restroom/shower; plenty of heat and hot water in women;s, but men's facility had no heat. Minimal traffic noise from highway , especially toward back of this single-loop park. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: April, 2014 - $38.00
Small campground but will fit a 40 footer. Easy access from the south. We had a river front site in the shade that was nice. People who own this are working hard to bring maintenance up and it shows. Lovely riverfront and quiet. Utilities good and TV good. WiFi excellent as well as cell phone coverage. Satellite OK from some sites but not all. Good place to kick back and enjoy the river. Close to Grants Pass and allot has to offer. We'll be back. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: April, 2014 - $34.00
This small campground has some on the best river views from the campsites. This is a small and clean park. Wi-Fi was good. Park staff was friendly. Our site was level. We were able to get a DirecTV satellite signal with some work, as the park is surrounded by many tall trees. Our Verizon phones had no trouble getting a signal. Some campers were long term, and these RVs appeared rough, which presented a negative look on the park. A small drive of 10 minutes gives you access to major shops, gas stations, fast food and restaurants. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: October, 2013 - $31.00
Pretty park, but with very close together sites. But the river back in sites are angled so you should be able to view the river from your side window instead of viewing your neighbor. This park was very quiet at night. Restroom and showers were clean. Laundry was inexpensive. Management was very helpful in getting us backed in to the tight site. If you have deep slides on both sides of your rig, it may be too tight! We had decent 4G Verizon signal during our stay. Did not try the parks Wi-FI. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.Undo

Wonderful RV park to stay in. Cable TV listings were available on the internet and matched the channels, plus five channels on the roof top antenna. Wi-Fi worked very well, but slowed down at breakfast and for a short time after supper. The only concern was an RV in the far corner by the river with 3 dogs who's owner decided (several times) to train them between 1 and 4 in the morning. Park manager was great, and they have a mobile RV repair guy they can call on. Showers are for skinny people but the washrooms were clean and well maintained. We would happily stay here again. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: October, 2013 - $35.00
The park is very clean. Restrooms are very clean with wonderful woodwork and charm. Grass at each campsite--we felt like we were in a park. The host was sweet and helpful. Our site was right on the Rogue River. We were about 20 feet from river's edge. The river was beautiful. I would like to go back and stay for a whole week. Make sure you go into town and walk through the park, a lovely park, that rests on the Rogue River, it was beautiful!!! We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: September, 2013 - $40.00
Nice clean park on the river. We have stayed here twice. 1st time with a river view, 2nd time no view. 1st time was great. 2nd time we were crammed in on a corner spot. Not their fault as we got the last site available. Very quiet. Looked like everyone was in bed at 9:00. Too early for us but it did make for very quiet evenings. Only a couple full timers there. If you plan on staying you need to book a river spot well ahead. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: September, 2013 - $36.00
Bountiful small park on the river - lots of tree's. Good WI-FI, but the space's are small and tight to back into. We have a 40' MH and it took several maneuvers to get in our space. Would definitely go back. We camped at Riverpark RV Resort in a Motorhome.Undo

Moving to Peterson AFB? What you need to know…
Welcome to Team Pete where our mission is to "operate and sustain global missile warning and space control capabilities and installations to dominate the high ground for America and its allies." After moving to Peterson AFB, you'll quickly see that the team here strives to be America's most innovative and disciplined space wing. Peterson AFB is located adjacent to and east of Colorado Springs – population 500,000. On top of being an outstanding Air Force Space Command center, the base also provides runways for the city of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport under a shared joint civil-military airport organization.

Peterson AFB is home to the U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), North Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), and the 21st Space Wing (21SW) which also serves as the host unit for the base. Directly on base is the Peterson Air and Space Museum where the rich aviation and space history of the area is preserved. You'll also find the U.S. Post Office is conveniently located on base along with the Postal Service Center (which is next to the post office, providing incoming mail service for active duty military and DoD civilian personnel).
Colorado Springs, home of Peterson AFB
If you have the privilege of moving to Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs, you'll discover why the city is known as one of the nation's premier military communities, as it also houses the U.S. Air Force Academy to the north and Fort Carson to the south. In fact, the city is often times referred to as the "nation's military state capital."
Colorado Springs sits along the majestic Fort Range of the Rocky Mountains and is home to Pikes Peak – elevation 14,110 feet. So, it goes without saying that the scenery is quite literally breathtaking. Aside from astounding natural beauty, the city also has exquisite cuisine, thrilling attractions, superb shopping, and eclectic businesses. Residents of Colorado Springs are never at a loss for something to do because here you can go mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, rafting, running, rock climbing, repelling, and skiing, among many other exciting adventurous opportunities. In Colorado Springs, there is no time to be bored.
Team Pete welcomes you and your family and hopes you have an enjoyable and rewarding time while stationed here.
Tips for adjusting to high altitude

HAVE: spring bulbes--gaging interest
shmea123June 7, 2006
Would anyone be interested in trading daffodil for ther kinds, other bulbs, or perennials? I ordered WAY to many from a wholesale source and have buyer's remorse. I would rather swap, though, than return the bulbs. Here is what I will have once they arrive. I will have 15 of each:
Actaea (poeticus)
Fortissimo (large cupped)
Ice Follies (large cupped)
Camelot (large cupped)
February Gold (cylamineus)
Thalia (triandrus)
Would love to swap for double narcissi, named daylily, peony, named hosta...almost anything. Let me know! Please e-mail.

Update the color palate on the Reman variants of the Romulan Republic uniforms.
Problem. Still borked for Remans. I copied my Reman over to see if you fixed what I was hoping. For my Romulan boffs it's fixed but for my Reman captain and boff Veril, you guys must have forgot about it. I also have an alien-Rom still on the test server that I created during LoR beta after the great character wipe and it seems to be fixed for aliens also.
#1 For both versions of the Romulan Republic wrist attach left and right, the left one still has a different color palate than the right one. (on Remans)
#2 For both versions of the Romulan Republic chest gear and belt, the chest gears have a different color palate than the belts. (on Remans)
I reported this during LoR closed beta testing. It is nice to see it finally getting fixed for romulan/alien-roms. It's a start and thank you for the effort. Much appreciated.
I went to the Delta Quadrant and the Kazon stole my stupid T-shirt. Also, my pet hamster that died when I was a kid is now a Kobali.

Adam Arenson: Stonewall Jackson's Arm Lies Here
Adam Arenson is an assistant professor of history at the University of Texas at El Paso and the author of The Great Heart of the Republic: St. Louis and the Cultural Civil War. He blogs at adamarenson.com.
This week in 1863, the celebrated Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was returning from a nighttime reconnaissance ride near Chancellorsville, Virginia, when he was mistakenly shot by his own camp's picket guards. On May 2, Jackson's wounded arm was amputated; Jackson's chaplain, Beverley Tucker Lacy, buried it the next day in a nearby family graveyard. Seemingly on the mend, Stonewall Jackson was removed far behind the battle lines to recuperate at Fairfield Plantation, but his condition soon worsened. Stonewall Jackson died eight days later, on May 10, 1863, of pneumonia.
General Robert E. Lee assessed the gravity of the situation for himself and the army when he first heard of Jackson's amputation. "William," Lee declared to his cook, "I have lost my right arm. I'm bleeding at the heart."
The spot where Jackson was shot is marked today by a large boulder, just behind the Chancellorsville battlefield visitor center, and the outbuilding at Fairfield plantation where Jackson died is known to this day as the Stonewall Jackson Shrine. His lost limb is buried in a graveyard off the main Chancellorsville battlefield, at what was then Ellwood Plantation. Among the unmarked graves of men and women, mothers and sons, there is one monument--to an arm....

Ninety-six passengers were evacuated from a Portland-based ferry that ran aground about half a mile southeast of Basket Island, off the coast of Maine last week..
There were no reports of pollution or injuries to the 96 passengers and three crew aboard.
The Bay Mist refloated with the incoming tide around 3:15 a.m., and an inspection of the hull showed no signs of a puncture. The ferry and its three crew were escorted by tug to the Casco Bay ferry dock in Portland.
Coast Guard Station South Portland received the initial radio call ., reporting the 84-foot Bay Mist had run aground. The station launched a 25-foot and a 47-foot rescue boat to help evacuate the passengers from the stranded vessel. The case is under investigation.

02.11.15 – February 11, 2015 marks five years in space for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory or SDO, which provides incredibly detailed images of the Earth-facing side of the sun 24 hours a day. Capturing an image almost once per second, SDO has provided an unprecedentedly clear picture of how massive explosions on the sun grow and erupt ever since its launch on Feb. 11, 2010. The imagery is also captivating, allowing one to watch the constant ballet of solar material through the sun's atmosphere, the corona.
In honor of SDO's fifth anniversary, NASA has released two videos showcasing highlights from the last five years of sun watching. The first is a time lapse of the past five years. Different colors represent different wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light, ultraviolet light, and visible light, which in turn correspond to solar material at different temperatures. Additionally SDO returns solar magnetic field data that helps scientists study solar activity.

i'm the only one that don't understand the market and not able to trade .They all make money here and now exactly when to buy or sell CPSL.Just because I posted my concern on the lack of investor relations I'm the stupid guy .I have this concern also because chinese people thinks and act in a very different manner and are very difficult to understand.An example ????OK,I live in Italy and you know very well that we are flooded with chinese people coming to our country ,like chinese are eating up Little Italy in NewYork .Well,nothing is wrong with that,but they way they live,act,work is a world apart from us an we will never understand their mentality .Coming to my point,a year ago an entire chinese family (3 adults and a baby ) died in a car crash nearby where I live .Well,after 2 months the corpses were still at the morgue because nobody showed up to claim for them and the maire decided to bury them at the city expenses .What does it tell you about these people....???
you take one example and sterotype 1.3 billion people, that called racism.
poor ordnas,if you want to know more about chinese, please sell your CPSL and travel to china for couple months, such as shanghai, beijing... and you'll have more knowledge about china,chinese and their business, and then you come back to buy the CPSL again, i am sure you'll make money.
If you're a cynic (like me), other longs don't like to hear much of ANYTHING negative. I feel all investors should be skeptics, it takes the emotion out of owning stocks, and keeps you on your toes. I'm lomg EFUT, but certainly have my doubts about that company and it's management. Longs there tell me to sell and that everything's rosy, blah, blah, blah. My advice: stay cynical, use stops (when the beta's not to high) and you should be ok. Good luck.

Major bamboo project, need advice
We live in a semi-rural area (6 acres) and are planning a 20'-40' wide by 100' bamboo screen to block off our neighbors house (they piled up soil 16' tall and built the house on top of that, so their windows and patio overlooks our back yard by about 20'-30'). Their house is a boxy, modern, Frank Lloyd Wright looking monstrosity too. Yuck.
We've got about 20 full sized clumps of himalayan blue (we think, free for the digging on craigslist). As well as Phyllostachys nigra (reg and ÂHenonÂ), Phyllostachys vivax, moso, Bambusa ventricosa "Buddha Belly" and phyllostachys heteroclada. We're planning to put it all in and see what does well.
Anyway, we want to keep these under control so they don't take over other parts of the yard or escape into the neighbors yard. We're planning to put the himalayan in a row about 3-4' from the property line/fence and don't expect to need a barrier for it. Immediately south of that we'll put taller and more open/spreading varieties. Our soil is very hard and rocky (large rock) and poor (~subsoil) so deep trenching is not particularly attractive. We could dig down a foot at most. I'm considering a barrier that goes into the ground 1' and above the ground 1'. I could make it simple concrete, or bamboo barrier backed up with concrete/timber. Then I could fill it with better soil and mulch. Would bamboo break through a 4" reinforced concrete wall such as that?
On the other hand, with our crappy soil and dry climate in the east bay hills, we may simply be able to limit the bamboo by fertility and water since it seems only native plants and annual winter weeds grow in areas I don't irrigate. That would certainly be easier, but I imagine they'd run together and I'm not sure what the neighbor is going to do on his side.
I know a lot of you guys grow many species, and hopefully some are in CA, what would you do?
I would plant only clumping bamboo in your area and situation. That way you will need NO barrier.
Of the bamboos you listed above, I'd go with only the Buddha Belly, as it is a clumper, however, a closely related bamboo that would do much better is Bambusa oldhamii.
Oldhamii grows taller and very erect so it will not lean outward as compared to the BB which will lean outward but still be within your 40' range.

This application claims priority of German patent application 10 2007 019 335.3 filed Apr. 24, 2007, which is incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to a microscope, in particular to a stereomicroscope.
Conventional microscopes, e.g. surgical microscopes, comprise a permanently incorporated illumination system with which a specimen or object to be viewed is illuminated. The illumination system can be embodied as a reflected-light and/or transmitted-light system.
Highly sensitive specimens exist, however, that can be damaged by visible light, UV light, or even IR light. An example that may be given here is the human eye that is being viewed by means of a microscope in the context of an ophthalmic operation.
The present invention strives to make available a microscope, in particular a surgical microscope, in which damage to the specimen being observed as a result of the light used for illumination of the specimen is minimized or entirely avoided.
A microscope having the features of claim 1 is proposed for this purpose.
With a microscope according to the present invention, the light intensity necessary for observation or for sufficient illumination of a specimen can be significantly reduced as compared with conventional solutions. Night vision apparatuses usable according to the present invention are available relatively economically. The solution according to the present invention makes a significant contribution toward reducing stress on light-sensitive specimens that are being examined under a microscope. The solution according to the present invention is moreover physically small and compact, so that it is readily usable for numerous applications. In particular, night vision device can advantageously be integrated into the microscope housing.
A night vision apparatus can be introduced into the normal beam path of a microscope, i.e. for example positioned on an optical axis defined by a main objective and/or a zoom system. It is likewise possible to couple out additional beam paths for a night vision apparatus. A beam path coupled out in this fashion can be delivered to a suitably positioned night vision apparatus. An image generated by means of the night vision apparatus can then be displayed on a monitor. It is likewise conceivable to superimpose the image generated by the night vision apparatus back onto the normal beam path of the microscope. Depending on the superimposition location, a magnification generated in the normal beam path must be compensated for in the image provided by the night vision apparatus.
The microscope is embodied in particular as a stereomicroscope. The invention proves advantageous in particular in connection with the stereoscopic viewing of a specimen, since good stereoscopic observation is possible here even with very dim or weak light.
Advantageous embodiments of the microscope according to the present invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.
Stereomicroscopes of this kind are usable in particularly advantageous fashion as surgical microscopes.
In this connection, reference may be made to the following: In principle, any number of night vision apparatuses can be provided for a microscope according to the present invention. For example, two night vision devices can be provided for a stereomicroscope. These night vision apparatuses can be introduced into the respective stereoscopic observation channels, or can be impinged upon by further beam paths proceeding from a specimen to be observed.
It is likewise possible to provide only a single night vision apparatus for a number of beam paths, for example for both normal observation beam paths of a stereomicroscope, and to obtain images sequentially, for example by means of a suitable time-related control system, for the respective beam paths or observation channels. Images acquired shortly after one another (sequentially) can be viewed stereoscopically, without substantial degradation or perceptible time delay for an observer, by being presented, for example, on an autostereoscopic display or on a display having polarization display means.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the night vision apparatus is placed downstream and/or upstream from a zoom system of the microscope. An upstream positioning, i.e. for example between the main objective and zoom system of a microscope, proves particularly advantageous, since no attenuation of the limited spectral range that is typically essential for a night vision apparatus occurs as a result of the optical properties of the zoom system (absorption or light attenuation). A superimposition of the image generated by the night vision apparatus with the normal observation beam paths of the microscope can likewise occur before and/or after the zoom system.
A superimposition of the image generated with the night vision apparatus onto the normal beam path or paths of the microscope is, as mentioned, advantageous. Usefully provided for this purpose is a superimposition device with which an image generated by a night vision apparatus can be superimposed onto a normal beam path of the microscope. With such a superimposition, a high-contrast image can be generated in particular in dim light conditions. It is possible in this connection, for example, to electronically process images generated by the one or more night vision devices. Edge emphasis or intensification, as well as color modification or color coding, may be mentioned here by way of example. The term �normal� beam paths refers here to beam paths that do not impinge on the night vision device, but instead pass through the usual components of a microscope, namely e.g. the main objective, zoom system, eyepiece, etc.
Usefully, a superimposition device of this kind comprises means for magnifying or enlarging an image generated by the night vision apparatus. With such means it is possible to introduce the image generated by the night vision apparatus back into the normal beam path even after a magnification system, for example the zoom system.
According to a preferred embodiment of the microscope according to the present invention, generation of a respective image by way of respective night vision apparatuses occurs for two observation channels of a stereomicroscope, the generated images being inputted into a connected computer or one integrated into the microscope and presented stereoscopically on a screen. This feature permits additional or alternative viewing, on the screen, of a specimen to be observed.
It proves advantageous to provide at least one shutter that is extendable into and retractable from the beam paths. With such shutters, a user of the microscope can, for example, select or switch back and forth between a direct observation of the image through the observation channel or channels of the microscope and an image generated by a night vision apparatus, presented on a monitor, and reflected into the observation channel or channels of the microscope. A superimposed observation of these two aforesaid images can also be implemented with appropriate positioning of the shutters or shutter elements.
According to a further preferred embodiment of the microscope according to the present invention, an illumination device can be selectably switched in. An illumination device of this kind can, for example, be switched in for the observation of non-sensitive specimens. An illumination device of this kind can also be quickly switched on, for example, in an emergency. When an illumination device is switched on, an automatic switching off of the respectively provided night vision apparatuses is also conceivable.
According to a further preferred embodiment of the microscope according to the present invention, deflection elements having a variable reflectivity or transmissivity, which can be impinged upon by the respective beam paths, are provided. The concept of �variability� is also intended to encompass the possibility of displacing a beam splitter entirely out of a beam path. This would thus mean a decrease in reflectivity to zero. Stepless variability is also, however, intended to be encompassed in the same fashion. Stepless variability is achievable, for example, by means of micromirror arrays that are usable selectably as fully reflective mirrors, partially transparent, or semitransparent mirrors (beam splitters), or even as entirely transmissive elements.
The invention and its advantages will be further explained below with reference to exemplifying embodiments that are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is understood that the features of the invention discussed and yet to be discussed are usable not only in the respective combination indicated, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the context of the present invention. Different embodiments are also, in particular, partially or completely combinable.
The invention will now be explained further with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
The microscope depicted in
Beam paths 50, 52, 54, 56 emerging from eye 1 first strike a main objective 3. Observation channels 102, 104 are arranged behind main objective 3 as viewed from the observed specimen or eye 1, so that beam path 50 proceeds through observation channel 102, and beam path 52 through observation channel 104. Observations channels 102, 104 proceed through a zoom system 4 configured with two channels, and through a binocular tube 5. Zoom system 4 and binocular tube 5 each comprise a number of lenses. Binocular tube 5 is embodied in the usual way with eyepieces 5 a, 5 b.
Main objective 3, zoom system 4, and binocular tube 5 are arranged in a microscope housing 2.
Observer 29, in particular a surgeon, can stereoscopically observe eye 1 by observing beam paths 50, 52 that, as mentioned, proceed through main objective 3, zoom system 4, binocular tube 5, and eyepieces 5 a, 5 b.
The stereomicroscope depicted in
Further beam paths 54, 56 emerging from eye 1 strike deflection elements 80 and 82, respectively after passing through main objective 3 in microscope housing 2. Beam path 54 is directed via deflection element 80, which is preferably provided as a mirror, into first night vision apparatus 20 a. Embodied between deflection element 80 and night vision apparatus 20 a are a beam splitter element 18 and an imaging system 19 (depicted for the sake of simplicity as a lens). The function of beam splitter element 18 will be explained below. Night vision apparatus 20 a comprises, in a manner known per se, a low-light amplifier 21. In this, light (i.e. beam path 54) striking a photocathode 202 on, for example, entry side 201 triggers electrons that, accelerated by a high voltage in a vacuum 204, strike a luminous screen 206 on the opposite side and there generate an image.
Be it noted that the embodiment of a night vision device or low-light amplifier in the manner just described represents only one of several preferred embodiments. It is additionally possible to use, as night vision apparatuses, CCD or CMOS image sensors that, for example, respond to IR radiation of certain wavelengths or to another suitable wavelength region (e.g. UV region). Utilization of such image sensors, which are also used in conventional digital cameras or digital film cameras, proves to be particularly compact.
Analogously thereto, second night vision apparatus 20 b is impinged upon by the further beam path 56 emerging from the eye, which path is deflected by a further deflection element 82. An imaging system (once again depicted in simplified fashion as a lens) is likewise provided between deflection element 82, likewise preferably embodied as a mirror, and second night vision apparatus 20 b.
Second night vision apparatus 20 b, analogously to the first, likewise comprises a low-light amplifier 21. Second night vision apparatus 20 b analogously generates an image on a luminous screen 206.
According to a first preferred embodiment, the images generated by the two night vision apparatuses 20 a, 20 b can be digitized and delivered via conductors 27 a, 27 b to a computer 28, where they are processable to yield a stereoscopic image that can be presented on a monitor 30.
Alternatively or in addition to an observation via observation channels 102, 104 of the microscope, observer 29 can thus stereoscopically view, on monitor 30, eye 1 that is to be observed.
Alternatively or in addition to this stereoscopic image processing in computer 28, the images generated by the two night vision apparatuses 20 a, 20 b can also be reflected into observation channels 102, 104. This makes possible a superimposition of the images produced in observation channels 102, 104 and the images generated by the night vision apparatuses.
Advantageously, this superimposition is accomplished by means of superimposition devices 6, 7 to which the respective signals and images of night vision apparatuses 20 a, 20 b are delivered via conductors 37 a, 37 b. These superimposition devices each comprise an image processing device 6 and a semitransparent mirror 7 positioned in observation channels 102, 104 or beam paths 50, 52. Image processing devices 6 each comprise a presenting display that transfer the respective images to be presented, via further imaging systems 19 (once again depicted as a lens) onto semitransparent mirror 7. Because this superimposition occurs behind zoom system 4 as viewed from objective 1 or main objective 3, the actual magnification experienced by beam paths 50, 52 as a result of the zoom system must be taken into account in image processing devices 6. For this purpose, zoom system 4 comprises sensors that sense the current magnification of the zoom system and transfer it to image processing devices 6.
It is further evident from
There are several possibilities in this context: For example, it is conceivable to minimize the angles between beam paths 50 and 54, and 52 and 56 as much as possible in order to minimize the distances between the respective deflection elements and the beam paths 50, 52 proceeding through the zoom system. For this purpose, deflection devices 80, 82 can also be embodied displaceably perpendicular to the beam paths 50, 52 proceeding through the zoom system, as indicated by double arrows 80 a, 82 a.
It is likewise advantageously possible to reflect the images generated by night vision apparatuses 20 a, 20 b into beam paths 50, 52 below the zoom system, i.e. for example between main objective 3 and zoom system 4. In this case, computational compensation for the magnification of zoom system 4 can be omitted.
A further possibility for the positioning of deflection elements or beam splitter devices for selective impingement upon observation channels 102, 104 and/or night vision devices 20 a, 20 b is depicted with dashed lines in
This involves beam splitter elements 90, 92 that are introducible into observation channels 102, 104 in order to make available a beam path through observation channels 102, 104 and/or an impingement upon night vision devices 20 a, 20 b. Beam splitter elements 90, 92 are provided, for example, as semitransparent mirrors that split beam paths 50 and 52 into partial beam paths through zoom system 4 and night vision apparatuses 20 a, 20 b respectively. A solution of this kind has the advantage, as compared with the provision of mirrors 80, 82, that the observation angle for the beam paths through the zoom system and through night vision apparatuses 20 a, 20 b is the same in each case, so that computational compensation for different observation angles, for example in image processing device 6, is not necessary.
Beam splitter elements 90, 92 can furthermore also be embodied, for example, as micromirror arrays whose individual micromirrors are positionable so that both complete reflectivity and complete transmissivity of beam splitter elements 90, 92 can be established. With complete reflectivity, beam paths 50, 52 are deflected in their entirety into the respective night vision devices 20 a, 20 b. With complete transmissivity, beam paths 50, 52 are directed completely into zoom system 4 and into the optical components subsequent thereto
It is likewise conceivable to provide deflection elements 80, 82 as well as beam splitter elements 90, 92 together in a microscope, and use them alternatively or also simultaneously.
The effort made with the present invention is to keep to a minimum any illumination of specimen 1 being observed, or ideally to dispense entirely with illumination of the specimen.
An illumination apparatus 8 depicted in
Illumination device 8 can also comprise conventional illumination means that can be immediately switched on, for example, in an emergency situation.
Illumination device 8 is depicted in the exemplifying embodiments of
It proves to be advantageous to embody illumination device 8 with a dimmer function. With this dimmer function, the quantity of light can be optimally and steplessly adjusted even for very sensitive specimens. Spectrally selective elements are also advantageously usable in the context of illumination device 8, for example to reduce visible light with a simultaneous relative elevation in the IR component.
It is evident from
Be it noted in this connection that as shown in
Stereomicroscope 100 as shown preferably comprises closing apparatuses 28 with which the beam paths can selectably be interrupted depending on observation preference. Closing apparatuses 27 can be controllably shifted into and out of the respective beam paths by a user. Be it noted that the number and positioning of closing apparatuses 27 indicated in the Figures is selected solely by way of example. Depending on the application or requirements, more or fewer closing apparatuses can be provided at suitable positions.
As is evident, observation channels 102, 104 and deflection elements 80, 82 are arranged in a cross shape around a center axis X. Referring to
The possibility of using micromirror arrays for beam splitter elements 90, 92 was discussed with reference to
Be it noted that beam splitter elements 90, 92, 18, 7, 13 embodied as micromirror arrays can also serve as shutters. For example, a beam splitter element 90 embodied as a micromirror array could, with appropriate positioning of the micromirrors, cause beam path 54 to be deflected by mirrors 80 into night vision device 20 a, and simultaneously cause beam path 50 to be completely blocked. With this setting and with a corresponding setting of beam splitter element 92, an observation of specimen 1 based only on the images made available by night vision apparatuses 20 a, 20 b would be made available to user 29. In this case, for example, shutters 27 positioned in observation channels 102, 104 could be omitted. On the other hand, a corresponding complete introduction of beam paths 50, 52 into observation channels 102, 104 by appropriate positioning of the beam splitter elements embodied as micromirror arrays 90, 92 would allow, for example, shutters 27 placed ahead of the respective night vision devices 20 a, 20 b to be omitted.
The microscope as depicted in
According to the microscope as shown in
Reflection elements 80 and 82 are both positioned in order to direct beam path 54, 56 into the night vision apparatus 20 a.
Thus, a second night vision apparatus, as was used according to the embodiment as shown in
In the embodiment according to
Such images acquired shortly after one another (sequentially) can be viewed stereoscopically by being presented, for example, on an autostereoscopic display or on a display having polarization display means.
To achieve this, analogously to the first embodiment as shown in
Alternatively or in addition to this stereoscopic image processing in computer 28, the images generated by night vision apparatus 20 a can also be reflected into observation channels 102, 104. This makes possible a superposition of the images produced in observation channels 102, 104 and the images generated by the night vision apparatus 20 a.
Advantageously, this superposition is accomplished by means of superposition devices 6, 7 to which the respective signals and images of night vision apparatus 20 a are delivered via conductors 37 a, 37 b. For a further description of these superposition devices, it is referred to the description of the embodiment according to
It is also possible, analogously to the embodiment of

About Blinatumomab
Blinatumomab (AMG 103) is a bispecific T cell engager (BiTE®) antibody designed to direct the body's cell-destroying T cells against target cells expressing CD19, a protein found on the surface of B-cell derived leukemias and lymphomas. The modified antibodies are designed to engage two different targets simultaneously, thereby juxtaposing T cells to cancer cells. Blinatumomab is the first of the BiTE antibodies and Amgen has received orphan drug designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of ALL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), hairy cell leukemia, prolymphocytic leukemia and indolent B cell lymphoma and from the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of indolent B cell lymphoma, ALL, CLL and mantle cell leukemia (MCL).
About ALL
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive cancer of the blood and bone marrow — the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made. The disease progresses rapidly and affects immature blood cells, rather than mature ones.(1) Worldwide, ALL accounts for more than 12 percent of leukemia. Of the 42,000 people diagnosed worldwide, 31,000 will die from the disease.(2) Patients with ALL have abnormal white blood cells (lymphocytes) that crowd out healthy white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, leading to infection, anemia (fatigue), easy bleeding and serious side effects.(3,4)
About Amgen
Amgen discovers, develops, manufactures and delivers innovative human therapeutics. A biotechnology pioneer since 1980, Amgen was one of the first companies to realize the new science's promise by bringing safe, effective medicines from lab to manufacturing plant to patient. Amgen therapeutics have changed the practice of medicine, helping millions o
