About Unisync 显微镜控制手柄
Unisync 是一款专为基于人工智能的细胞形态检测系统中的显微镜所设计的控制手柄。该手柄使用者仅用单手即可沿三个轴向移动显微镜载物台，另一只手则可自由操作电脑。Unisync 直接与显微镜连接，而非通过软件进行中转，从而将延迟降至最低，并实现精准操控。摇杆偏离中心位置越远，移动速度越快。对称式造型同时适合左手与右手使用者。机身采用注塑成型 ABS 材质，表面为银灰色饰面。

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- This handle is designed for AI cell morphology inspection system, aiming to enhance medical staff efficiency and reduce fatigue in a more accurate, reliable, and user-friendly way. Low latency and precise control are ensured by connecting directly to the microscope rather than using software. The design combines a single-handed grip with intuitive, fluid interaction, meeting the need to operate the computer simultaneously and reducing healthcare worker fatigue.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 120mm×130mm×166mm
- Tags
- Microscopic Control Handle, single-handed , user-friendly, convenient Interaction
- Production Technology
- ABS injection molding. Silver - gray metal spray painting.
- Design Challenge
- The core challenge of the project is how to integrate tri-axis control within limited space, ensuring independent and non-interfering operation of XY and Z axes. In addition, the ergonomic design is also a challenge with the need for microscope precision and stability. The design of the handle also needs to harmonize the comfort and aesthetics of the medical device to create an innovative product that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
- Research
- Cell morphology testing is crucial in disease diagnosis. Through communication with pathologists and technicians, we found the traditional microscope operation cumbersome and inefficient, limiting AI system performance. Additionally, intelligent microscopes with software introduce latency and store unscreened data, wasting resources. This project effectively integrates pathologists' real needs into the microscope control handle design, improving operational efficiency.
- Inspiration
- Traditional microscopes present cumbersome operation in cellular morphology examination, hindering AI system efficiency. To optimize workflow and reduce operator fatigue, this control handle integrates tri-axis movement into a single-handed design. Furthermore, direct connection to the microscope ensures low latency and precise human-machine collaboration. Speed control is achieved through intuitive joystick offset, providing a more user-friendly and simplified interaction.
- Project Duration
- The project started in July 2024 in Beijing and finished in January 2025 in Beijing.
- Operation Flow
- The control handle can be directly connected to the microscope within the AI Inspection System, with an indicator light showing the data transfer status between the microscope and the computer. The symmetrical design does not limit the user's dominant hand. While holding the handle, the thumb and index finger naturally rest on the joystick, enabling easy operation of the microscope stage's tri-axis movement. The speed increases as the joystick is offset further.
