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.
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.
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.
