Bio-Rad ChemiDoc Touch Imaging System
24 September, 2014The ChemiDoc Touch Imaging System, from Bio-Rad, is a complete solution for gel and western blot imaging. The system combines the sensitivity of film with advanced detection technology to determine the best exposure settings for publication-quality western blot images.
FLIR A6700sc thermal imaging camera
22 August, 2014The FLIR A6700sc is suitable for industrial R&D, for applications that need better image quality, more sensitivity and a higher frame rate than what can be obtained from a thermal imaging camera with an uncooled detector.
The physical effects of magic mushrooms
04 July, 2014Researchers have examined the brain effects of the psychedelic chemical in magic mushrooms, called 'psilocybin', revealing the physical changes the chemical makes to the brain.
A powerful body scanner for an advanced imaging facility
16 May, 2014 by Lauren DavisThe University of Queensland's Centre for Advanced Imaging has acquired an $11 million 7 T MRI scanner, said to be the most powerful body scanner in the Southern Hemisphere.
University of Otago and GE Healthcare partner on medical imaging
23 April, 2014Medical technology company GE Healthcare has signed a partnership agreement with the University of Otago's Centre for Bioengineering & Nanomedicine to work together on medical imaging technology projects.
The best laid plans of mice in men
14 March, 2014Scientists from the UK and Australia have created a mouse strain that expresses a fluorescing biosensor in every cell of its body, allowing diseased cells and drugs to be tracked and evaluated in real time.
New 3D imaging technology keeps long samples intact
03 February, 2014Researchers at the Universidad Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M) and its spin-off company, 4D-Nature, have developed a technique called helical optical projection tomography (hOPT), which improves biomedical diagnostic 3D imaging.
Chemical imaging for cancerous tissue
15 January, 2014Scientists have outlined a new method for analysing biological samples, such as searching for cancer, based on their chemical make-up. The process would transform medical examinations, with tests currently involving interpretation by a histology specialist and a waiting period of weeks to obtain a full result.
Syngene GeneSys gel and blot imaging software version 1.4.0.0
06 December, 2013GeneSys imaging software version 1.4.0.0 is now available from Syngene. The product contains extra features and a redesigned interface to make the capturing of images both easier and quicker.
Jenoptik ProgRes CMOS and CCD digital microscope cameras
21 November, 2013The ProgRes CMOS (3 or 5 MP) and CCD (3, 5 or 7 MP) cameras from Jenoptik are suitable for all contrast methods in light microscopy and can be easily integrated via C-Mount and USB 2.0/ FireWire interfaces.
World-first imaging system for cochlear implants
11 November, 2013A world-first brain imaging system has been launched at the Australian Hearing Hub, located at Macquarie University. The system will allow researchers in the ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders (CCD) and HEARing Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) to see how the information processed by cochlear implants is interpreted by the brain.
New imaging system uses unconventional way of focusing light
09 October, 2013For hundreds of years, optical devices like microscopes and telescopes have relied on solid lenses that slide up and down to magnify and to focus. In pursuit of ever-smaller imaging systems, researchers are now working to create entirely unconventional ways of focusing light.
GE Healthcare Applied Precision DV Elite Imaging System with TruLight Illumination
06 August, 2013The DV Elite microscopy imaging system is designed for maximum flexibility and can handle most applications, including time-lapse live cell imaging, total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), photokinetics and differential interference contrast (DIC).
Molecular Devices MetaMorph Super-Resolution Imaging System
24 July, 2013The MetaMorph Super-Resolution Imaging System provides real-time super-resolution imaging on the nanometre scale, capturing organisation of sub-cellular structures not readily discernible with conventional, confocal or TIRF microscopy.
Fingerprint forensics getting closer to the TV representation
08 July, 2013Contrary to all the TV shows, in real life only 10% of fingerprints taken from crime scenes yield identifications usable in court. But now a new way of detecting and visualising fingerprints from crime scenes using colour-changing fluorescent films could lead to higher confidence identifications from latent (hidden) fingerprints on knives, guns, bullet casings and other metal surfaces.
