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.

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.
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.
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.
Nikon N-SIM and N-Storm super-resolution microscopes
20 January, 2010 byNikon Corporation has released two super-resolution microscopes, the N-SIM and N-Storm. The microscopes have been designed to realise resolution higher than ever before achieved by conventional optical microscopes. The N-SIM was developed with technology licensed from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and the N-Storm was developed with technology licensed from Harvard University.

20 January, 2010 byThe Axio Imager 2 has 10 stand versions and is suitable for advanced routine to high-end research in the life and materials sciences.
Researchers turn mobile phones into fluorescent microscopes
02 December, 2009Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, are proving that a camera phone can capture far more than photos of people or pets at play. They have now developed a mobile phone microscope, or CellScope, that not only takes colour images of malaria parasites, but of tuberculosis bacteria labelled with fluorescent markers.
Stunning images captured through light microscopes
01 December, 2009More than 2000 light microscope images and movies were entered in the 2009 Olympus Bioscapes competition. The stunning winners and honourable mentions included the University of Melbourne's Dr Jeremy Packett-Heaps, whose movie titled 'Sexual Attraction in Spyrogyra' was awarded third place.
