“To see things beyond ordinary vision”
this is what motivated us to capture the phenomena of life through a microscope.
Based on these microscopic images, we create original video content.
The discovery begins.

TLV Lab
Images of Experiments
TLV has its own in-house experimental facilities and devices, so we can plan and implement any customized experiment or reproduce microscopic images of any specific phenomenon.
We handle microorganisms, such as cells, bacteria, viruses, or molds, according to Biosafety Level 2 (BSL2, P2).
We also provide supportive experiments, analysis, and photography for conference presentations and thesis submission.
Equipment
Clean bench, safety cabinet, CO2 incubator, constant temperature incubator, autoclave, dry heat sterilizer, gas replacement glove box, ultrapure water system, high-speed refrigerated centrifuge, clean isolator, breeding facility for experimental animals, deep freezer, liquid nitrogen, medical freezer/refrigerator, inverted microscope, and stereomicroscope.
Imaging Microscope
Inverted confocal laser scanning microscope, inverted phase contrast microscope, inverted differential interference contrast microscope, upright biological microscope, upright fluorescence microscope, research fluorescence stereomicroscope, and culture system for microscopy

“Life in action”
Our “live imaging” is dedicated to conveying the wonders and motion of life.
By providing further insight into the phenomena of life and by making greater advancements in medicine and science, we are confident that we can positively contribute to the future of human beings.

About TLV
Image Production
The collaboration of our professional staff provides you products of the highest quality.
TLV is different from the rest due to a highly trained, professional staff in medical and life sciences.
We produce images that are both scientific and engaging.
Create through Connection
Research Group
Imaging Group
Our research group has developed its own unique technique for visualizing life phenomena under a microscope. We can also handle various objects such as living bodies, cells, bacteria, fungi, and others.
The imaging group is responsible for capturing the microscopic world through various microscopes and imaging devices. Besides being professionals in imaging microscopy, they also film on location or in the studio.
Direction Group
CG Creation Group
By assimilating and analyzing the content using their expert knowledge, our direction group delivers the final product as a story that is both easy to understand and intriguing.
TLV’s computer graphics (CG) developers then create new CG that combine the reality of representation with effective design through their examination of actual life phenomena.

Tailored to All Needs
Production is conducted with careful consideration so that the expressions used are appropriate for its target audience, which might include doctors, other medical professionals, patients, in-house training participants, or even general consumers. For example, the product can include commentary on cutting-edge information with experiment footage and realistic CG, explaining medical information in an easy-to-understand manner with simple illustrations, using drama to grab the viewer’s attention.
Our versatility can answer your every need, whether it is displaying a particular phenomenon under a microscope, visualizing a thesis experiment with microscopic images, adding more impact to an otherwise straightforward presentation of data introduction, or using microscopic images during lectures.
