Abstract
The invention relates to an augmented reality surgical microscope () having a camera (), preferably a multispectral or hyperspectral camera. The augmented reality surgical microscope () retrieves input image data () of an object () comprising in particular live tissue (). The input image data () comprise visible-light image data () as well as fluorescent-light image data () of at least one fluorophore (). The augmented reality surgical microscope () permits the automatic identification and marking in pseudo-color () of various types of vascular plexus structures () and/or of blood flow direction () depending on the fluorescent-light image data (). A pre-operative three-dimensional atlas () and/or ultrasound image data () may be elastically matched to the visible-light image data (). The augmented reality surgical microscope () allows different combinations of the various image data to be output simultaneously to different displays (). The invention also relates to a microscopy method and a non-transitory computer-readable storing a program causing a computer to execute the microscopy method.
