Australian miniaturised microscopes make it big
01 October, 2009Melbourne-based biotechnology company Optiscan has developed a dual high-definition, endomicroscopy endoscope using its miniaturised microscope technology.
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.
