Clinical microscope
30 September, 2009 byOlympus has introduced the CX21LED clinical microscope with built-in light emitting diode (LED) illumination. Offering consistent long-term performance for biological and medical applications, this imaging system can illuminate samples with a similar light intensity to that provided by halogen bulbs. Furthermore, the LED light source produces a more uniform, controllable and stable illumination for high-quality imaging.

10 August, 2009 byTucsen Digital Imaging Technology specialises in the practical application of high-performance digital cameras. The company, which manufactures C mount USB2.0 cameras for microscopy, has announced three new cameras.
Refurbished microscopes
10 August, 2009LETTA.com.au has a range of quality used microscopes that have been sourced from international suppliers. The selection ranges from student models to high-end research microscopes.
Atomic force microscope for London’s Natural History Museum
10 August, 2009Asylum Research and the Natural History Museum of London have announced that the museum’s mineralogy department has acquired Asylum’s MFP-3D Stand Alone Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) to expand on their range of research tools to study nanomaterials.
Zoom 3D-confocal microscope
06 July, 2009Leica TCS LSI is a super zoom 3D-confocal microscope, offering high resolution plus large field of view for in vivo imaging. The Large Scale Imaging (LSI) platform provides generous workspace and adapts to the experiment needs of native specimen analysis.
Particle sizing system
09 June, 2009 byAgilent Technologies has acquired Particle Sizing Systems, a privately held company that designs and manufactures instruments that measure the particle size and stability in materials ranging from soft drinks to ink jet inks to semiconductor polishing slurries.
Bioimaging workstation
05 June, 2009 byThe FSX 100 workstation allows for the acquisition of transmitted light, phase or fluorescence images, and features auto exposure and focusing for simple operation.
Atomic force microscope
08 April, 2009 byThe Agilent 5600LS is a high-resolution atomic force microscope that uses a fully addressable 200 x 200 mm stage to image large samples in air or smaller samples in liquid. The system also enables high-resolution imaging of a small sample area using a low-noise AFM or STM scanner.
Inverted materials microscope
08 April, 2009 byNikon Instruments has introduced the Eclipse MA200, an inverted materials microscope that uses integrated intelligence to automatically combine captured images with data on the applied observation settings for more comprehensive documentation. Its design allows easy access to the sample on the stage and nosepiece, while minimising the footprint size.
Live cell nano-microscopy
08 April, 2009 byDesigned to support research in nanotechnology and infectious diseases, the CytoViva Microscope System employs a darkfield-based optical illumination technology that improves contrast and signal-to-noise ratio. This transmitted-light illumination system enables scientists to observe a wide range of nano-materials quickly and easily, without special preparation. Live cells and pathogens can also be viewed at a level of detail not possible with traditional optical imaging techniques such as phase contrast or DIC.
Heated microscope platforms
08 April, 2009 byThe QE-1HC Quick Exchange heated/cooled microscope platform from Warner Instruments is designed to work with the Warner RC-40 quick change imaging chambers and all 35 mm cell culture dishes.
Scanning electron microscope
08 April, 2009 byThe JSM-7600F scanning electron microscope (SEM) combines high-resolution imaging and enhanced analytical capabilities. The system provides a resolution of 1.5 nm at 1 kV in GB mode and an accelerating voltage from 0.1 to 30 kV.
Microscope cameras
07 April, 2009 byTucsen C mount microscope cameras are available in a range of resolutions including 1.3, 3, 5 and 8 megapixels. The colour CMOS cameras feature a USB 2.0 interface and are compatible with Windows XP and Vista. Manual image analysis as well as twain drivers are included in the software package.
