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.
Desktop electron microscope
06 April, 2009 byThe JCM-5000 NeoScope desktop electron microscope provides a simple imaging procedure with auto focus, auto contrast/brightness and takes 3 minutes from sample loading to imaging.
Automated confocal microscope
06 April, 2009 byThe FV10i automated confocal microscope is suitable for users unfamiliar with conventional confocal microscopy, featuring an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical user interface.
CCD microscopy camera
06 April, 2009 byThe Lumenera InfinityX-32 pixel shifting camera has been specifically designed for users in the clinical, life and material science fields. This camera offers 32 megapixel resolution, high sensitivity, 12-bit data and low noise levels.
Mutliphoton imaging
06 April, 2009 byThe FluoView FV1000MPE microphoton laser scanning microscope system offers bright clear imaging in living cells and deep within specimens.
UV microscope
01 January, 2009Rigaku has launched the Desktop Minstrel UV, a fully automated UV imaging and protein crystal monitoring system. The instrument uses UV fluorescence microscopy to successfully monitor crystal growth by distinguishing protein crystals from non-protein crystals, such as salt.
Bio-atomic force microscope
01 January, 2009The JPK NanoWizard II bio-atomic force microscope (AFM) provides life science laboratories with stability, performance, ease of handling with samples in fluid and full integration with optical microscopy.
Small sample AFM/SPM
01 December, 2008Asylum Research’s Cypher AFM achieves closed loop atomic resolution using sensors in all three axes, combining the accuracy of closed loop with the power of atomic resolution for accurate images and measurements.
