Tescan and WITec Raman Imaging Scanning Electron (RISE) Microscopy system
02 April, 2014Tescan Orsay Holding and WITec have launched RISE Microscopy - a correlative microscopy technique which combines confocal Raman imaging and scanning electron (RISE) microscopy within one integrated microscope system.
Rigaku nano3DX X-ray microscope
18 February, 2014The nano3DX, from Rigaku, is a true X-ray microscope (XRM) with the ability to measure relatively large samples at high resolution. The product images the entire sample from multiple angles and can thus reconstruct a 3D image at 0.27 µm resolution.
Removing distortion from atomic-scale images
31 January, 2014Microscopy researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a technique that eliminates the distortion encountered when capturing images at the atomic scale. Their method will be reported in the March issue of Ultramicroscopy.
Liver cells under the microscope
12 December, 2013 by Lauren DavisThe purpose of the University of Queensland's Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis (CMM), located at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), is to promote, support and initiate research and teaching in the applications of microscopy and microanalysis. Appropriately, the centre is now home to Australia's first in-situ sectioning electron microscope.
A mini microscope from a mobile phone camera
11 December, 2013European researchers have found that, by modifying simple imaging devices into mini microscopes, they can prevent the misdiagnosis of parasitic infections - particularly in resource-deficient areas where such infections are common.
Technological breakthrough for skin regeneration
17 October, 2013Researchers have demonstrated new multimodal optical microscopy technology which, when coupled with advanced image co-registration algorithms, can account for soft-tissue deformations that may occur over the timecourse of weeks and months.
Through-focus scanning optical microscopy
09 October, 2013A technique developed several years ago at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for improving optical microscopes has now been applied to monitoring the next generation of computer chip circuit components, potentially providing the semiconductor industry with a crucial tool for improving chips for the next decade or more.
Olympus FluoView FVMPE-RS deep-imaging multiphoton system
25 September, 2013The Olympus FluoView FVMPE-RS multiphoton microscope system enables high-precision, ultrafast scanning and stimulation, allowing researchers to see deep within specimens, take measurements at high speeds and capture images even under demanding conditions.
Nanotechnology microscope to help develop cheap plastic solar cells
02 September, 2013Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has recently installed one of the world's most powerful nanotechnology microscopes. The only one if its kind in Australia, the Zeiss Orion NanoFab enables researchers to examine natural or manmade structures in incredible detail and will create new insights wherever it is applied.
Cost-effectively convert a conventional microscope into a billion-pixel imaging system
06 August, 2013 by Kimm FesenmaierUsually microscopists have to decide between high resolution and a small field of view or low resolution and a large field of view. But that need no longer be the case.
Nikon SMZ25 and SMZ18 stereomicroscopes
25 June, 2013Nikon Instruments has released the SMZ25 and SMZ18 stereomicroscopes. Suitable for all bioscience applications, the microscopes meet the increasing need of scientists for imaging systems capable of spanning spatial scales from single cells to whole organisms.
