Carl Zeiss Shuttle & Find correlative light and electron microscopy solution
03 February, 2011 byCarl Zeiss has introduced an integrated hardware/software interface to connect light and scanning electron microscopes for materials analysis and correlative microscopy in the life sciences. The Shuttle & Find interface enables users to recall regions of interest in fixed specimens in an electron microscope, which were previously identified in a light microscope and vice versa. The entire process takes only a few seconds.
Carl Zeiss Axio Scope.A1 materials microscope
03 February, 2011 byThe flexible Axio Scope.A1 microscope system from Carl Zeiss is now being offered in a version for polarisation microscopy. With minimum effort, six different versions of the microscope can be specially and economically configured for polarisation techniques.
Leica A60 S and A60 F stereomicroscopes
25 November, 2010 byLeica Microsystems A series stereomicroscopes have been developed to meet the requirements in production of printed circuit boards or medical products. The Leica A60 F and A60 S stereomicroscopes make products and components optimally visible, enable subassemblies to be processed easily and increase productivity.
Hitachi High-Technologies SU8040 FE-SEM
07 October, 2010 byHitachi High-Technologies SU8040 field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) features a newly developed Regulus (REGULated Ultra Stable) Stage. It is claimed to be smooth operating even at high magnification observation.
Revolution DSD white light confocal spinning disk microscope
07 October, 2010 byThe Revolution DSD (differential spinning disk) white light confocal spinning disk microscope is based on ‘aperture correlation’ which achieves a high degree of optical sectioning by active background rejection. This technique ensures that the DSD delivers high-contrast, low-background images with objective magnifications from 10x to 100x, using air, water or oil immersion lenses, making it suitable for a wide range of live cell, developmental and fluorescence applications.
TILL Photonics iMIC 2000 digital microscope
06 October, 2010 byThe TILL Photonics iMIC 2000 digital microscope is a fully motorised digital imaging platform, particularly suited for software controlled, automated screening, laser scanning and PC-based microscopy.
Asylum Research Cypher AFM and MFP-3D-BIO AFM
06 October, 2010 byAsylum Research has delivered a dual system order for a Cypher AFM and an MFP-3D-BIO AFM to the University of Melbourne’s Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Dr Raymond Dagastine’s group will use the AFMs to develop nanoscale experiments and theories to measure and predict interactions, collisions and coalescence between droplets and bubbles that underpin innovative applications of foams and emulsions and other soft matter materials. The approach provides a ‘front seat’ view of how drops or bubbles collide in solution, and how the physical mechanisms are dependent on the types of molecules coating their interfaces.
A new glance on microscopic images
06 September, 2010A doctoral student at the research centre Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (FZD) suggests interpreting the images generated by Kelvin probe force microscopy in a new way. She recently published her insights in the journal ‘Physical Review B’.
Dolan Jenner Fibre-Lite LMI-6000 LED fibre-optic illuminator
07 June, 2010 byThe Dolan Jenner Fibre-Lite LMI-6000 LED fibre-optic illuminator features long-life, bright white, LED lighting with a colour temperature of 6000 K and uses up to 50% less energy than halogen light sources.
Olympus BX line of upright clinical and research microscopes
03 June, 2010 byThe BX line of upright clinical and research microscopes has ergonomic and imaging features that provide comfort, ease of use and accuracy.
Z-contrast microscope resolves and identifies individual light atoms
26 March, 2010Individual light atoms such as boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen have been imaged for the first time. The images were collected using a Z-contrast scanning transmission electron microscope.
Carl Zeiss multidiscussion system for Axio Scope/Imager microscopes
12 March, 2010 byThe multidiscussion system for Axio Scope and Axio Imager light microscopes enables up to 21 persons to view the same object microscopically at the same time. The image generated under the microscope is seen by all observers with an identical image orientation in a 23 mm field of view.
Olympus Australia CX21LED educational microscope
09 February, 2010 byThe CX21LED is an educational microscope that incorporates the same advanced UIS2 optics as Olympus’s top-of-the-range microscopes.
Olympus cell^TIRF illuminator
04 February, 2010 byOlympus has announced a step forward in multicolour TIRF with its cell^TIRF illuminator which offers four motorised channels for simultaneous image capture.
Agilent Technologies iMIC 2000 Digital Microscope
04 February, 2010 byFollowing fast processes in cells requires fast technology and an intelligent microscope to keep track of what is happening. The Agilent Technologies iMIC 2000 Digital Microscope is a fast, precisely controlled scientific imaging platform that has been engineered specifically to keep up with the pace at which scientific discoveries are made.
