Welcome to
Microvisionmedical!
MicroVision Medical is a spin off of the Academical Medical Center with the University of Amsterdam. It was founded in 2004 and has since then developed, produced and marketed the MicroScan. The Sidestream Dark Field technology incorporated in the MicroScan enables the physician to visualize the microcirculation at the bedside.
Our Goals and Vision.
MicroVision Medical aims to improve detection, treatment and monitoring of septic patients by developing pioneering technology, evidence based development and implementing user feedback. It is our goal to be the number one provider of non-invasive monitoring solutions for sepsis and establish the routine use of microcirculatory monitoring.
Our vision is to save lives and improve outcome of septic patients based upon non-invasive technologies capable of assessing the microcirculation.
Research.
Current clinical research mainly focuses on the relevance of microcirculatory monitoring of patients on the ICU with severe sepsis or septic shock. A list of key publications can be found on this site soon.
Examples of the images generated by the MicroScan can be found on this site soon.

Literature
Read the Literature related to MicroScan:
The system is a handheld video microscope with LED illumination. It is available in 5x magnification. For improved assessment of red blood cell velocity, stroboscopic illumination was introduced. The MicroScan Video Microscope System consists of:
- MicroScan Imaging Unit
- MicroScan Battery Unit
- MicroScan Detachable Handle
- MicroScan Calibration Unit
- MicroScan Sterile Disposable Lenses (20 pcs. included)
- Connecting Cable - A/C Adapter with power plug
- User Manual
The included Battery Unit will last for a minumum of 12 hours of continuous use. Ths allows measurements all day without needing to charge the battery.
The System has a standard video-output (PAL or NTSC), which allows you to record the measurement on any recording device which has a standard video-input. Using a capture device, you can convert the image into a digital signal which can be recorded directly to a computer harddrive.
The MicroScan uses a sterile disposable, the MicroScan Lens, to protect the patient and device. These can be ordered separately from MicroVision Medical.
