## TL;DR

Carl Zeiss Meditec makes Intrabeam, a miniature X-ray source used to give a single dose of radiation to the breast tumour bed during surgery, and the Kinevo surgical microscopes whose blue-light and infrared modes make brain tumours glow during resection.

## Summary

Carl Zeiss Meditec, the listed medical arm of the Zeiss group formed in 2002, sells ophthalmic devices and neurosurgical visualisation. Intrabeam is a mobile 50 kV X-ray source with spherical applicators placed in the cavity after lumpectomy to deliver intraoperative radiotherapy, the technique tested in the TARGIT-A trial, and its applicators also treat skin, spine and intracranial sites. The Kinevo and Pentero microscopes carry fluorescence modes for 5-aminolaevulinic acid and indocyanine green used in glioma and vascular surgery. OnCo links it to intraoperative radiotherapy and fluorescence-guided surgery.
