Blood pressure monitoring with a video selfie
21 August, 2019Finding an accessible, easy way to monitor blood pressure is important given that nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure and many don't even know they have it.
MRI technique shows molecular make-up of the brain
16 August, 2019Researchers have transformed an MRI from a diagnostic camera into a device that can record changes in the biological make-up of brain tissue.
PCO.edge 26 MP resolution global shutter sCMOS camera
01 August, 2019The PCO.edge 26 sCMOS camera features a true charge domain global shutter which allows for low readout noise and dark current. Its adjustable cooling functionality enables users to extend their exposure times by up to 60 s.
MRI performed on single atoms
15 July, 2019Researchers have performed what is claimed to be the world's smallest MRI scan — a technique which they used to visualise the magnetic field of single atoms.
Tecan Spark Cyto plate reader with real-time image cytometry
04 July, 2019Tecan's Spark Cyto live cell plate reader offers real-time detection and analysis of biological, chemical and physical events — capturing the maximum amount of data from every well, at the same time and under the same conditions.
Thermo Fisher Scientific Invitrogen iBright 1500 imaging systems
27 June, 2019For biological researchers requiring high-quality images from their samples, the easy-to-use Invitrogen iBright 1500 imaging platform features a powerful camera and other imaging capabilities to accelerate and streamline analysis.
Funding to fast-track eye test for Alzheimer's
10 June, 2019Using specialised colour imaging, cameras will measure amyloid beta in the retina many years before symptoms of Alzheimer's disease appear.
BioTek Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader with wide FOV camera
10 June, 2019BioTek Instruments announces a wide field of view (FOV) camera option for the Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader. The wide FOV camera captures approximately four times the area compared to Cytation 5's standard camera, allowing users to capture larger areas of interest with fewer images.
Major discovery or 'fake news'? Don't let cytometry assays fool you
06 June, 2019When running assays on a cell imaging system, microplate reader or flow cytometer, can you be sure you are getting the whole truth?
Whole-body MRI may detect spread of cancers more quickly
21 May, 2019Whole-body MRI could reduce the time it takes to diagnose the stage of colorectal and non-small cell lung cancer in new patients, according to two prospective trials with nearly 500 patients.
Imaging immune cells in the brain
16 May, 2019Researchers in South Korea and Singapore have developed a chemical probe that enables live imaging of a type of immune cells in the brain, known as microglia, in a live animal brain.
Phasefocus Livecyte quantitative, label-free live cell imaging
01 May, 2019Livecyte uses a modality called ptychography, which enables quantitative label-free live cell analysis of single and multiple cell types in heterogeneous cell populations.
This is what a black hole looks like
11 April, 2019Astronomers have unveiled the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow.
Andor Technology ultrasensitive Sona back-illuminated camera
01 April, 2019Andor Technology has released the ultrasensitive Sona back-illuminated camera for fluorescence microscopy. Featuring 95% quantum efficiency and vacuum cooling down to -45°C, Sona provides good sCMOS sensitivity.
Advancing cell biology with quantitative phase imaging
01 April, 2019The quest to find high-resolution intracellular imaging techniques that do not require any expression of artificial genes has led to the upsurge in development of unlabelled techniques. One such field is that of quantitative phase imaging.
