12 January, 2007 | Supplied by: Scientifix Pty Ltd
The U2800 UV-Vis double beam spectrophotometer features a self-diagnostic function, 1.5 nm spectral bandwidth and LCD display with backlight.
lucaEM EMCCD camera
08 December, 2006 | Supplied by: SciTech Pty Ltd
Andor's lucaEM is an electron multiplying CCD camera that is cost effective and powerful. Representing a new performance standard in 'workhorse' cameras lucaEM can operate 'gain off' for conventional CCD operation under brighter conditions. When the photons become scarce the EM gain can be turned on.
Microscope reveals changes over time
09 October, 2006 by David Welsh
A three-dimensional microscope that works in a new way is giving unprecedented insight into the internal structure and chemical composition of materials
Imaging like insect eyes
09 October, 2006
By mimicking how insects see, a University of Adelaide researcher can now produce digital videos in which you can see every detail. The technique solves a critical problem for surveillance cameras, where the clarity of images is everything
Image processing and analysis
11 September, 2006 | Supplied by: http://www.scitech.com.au
Image-Pro Plus version 6.0 offers an abundance of image processing and analysis capabilities to increase accuracy and automate research, development and quality processes. This major version release of Image-Pro Plus includes a number of new image analysis tools along with support for Windows XP x64 operating systems.
High-speed digital camera
09 August, 2006 | Supplied by: http://www.scitech.com.au
Based on the SpeedCam MiniVis, the versions MiniVis ECO-1 and ECO-2 offer a maximum of flexibility in resolution and speed. The sophisticated systems convince users with a maximum resolution up to 1.280 x 1.024 pixels and recording speeds of up to 32.000 frames per second, with reduced resolution (ECO-2). The ECO series cameras are suitable for any R&D laboratory application that requires high-speed video.
EMCCD camera
09 August, 2006 | Supplied by: http://www.scitech.com.au
The EMCCD camera from Andor, the iXonEM+ combines photon collection efficiencies of up to 95% QE with single photon sensitivity through virtual elimination of the read noise detection limit. The range offers multiple readout speeds up to 35 MHz, 14 and 16 bit digitisation and benefits from negligible dark current with thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C. Andor's vertical clock parameters ensure that clock induced charge (spurious noise) is low. Rapid vertical clocking ensures the frame rates are fast and smear is minimal.
Confocal microscopy
09 August, 2006 | Supplied by: http://www.leica-microsystems.com
Leica Microsystems has released a compact, high resolution spectral confocal system - the Leica TCS SPE - which features true spectral detection across the full emission range.
Molecular DNA switch found to be the same for all life
18 July, 2006
The molecular machinery that starts the process by which a biological cell divides into two identical daughter cells apparently worked so well early on that evolution has conserved it across the eons in all forms of life on Earth.
Protein crystallisation facility
14 June, 2006
The Bio21 Collaborative Crystallisation Centre (Bio21-C3) is the first of its kind in Australia and will be opened by the Parliamentary Secretary for Innovation and Industry, Matt Viney, MP.
Imaging system for gene therapy
07 June, 2006 | Supplied by: Total Lab Systems Ltd
The UVIchemi chemiluminescence imaging system can be used for imaging western blots which are an important method used to determine the effectiveness of gene transfer. In many cases, the images produced can be analysed (quantified) using UVIband analysis software also from UVItec.
Pressure calibrator
07 June, 2006 | Supplied by: WIKA Australia
With the CPH 6000 process calibrator, routine tasks in the field such as testing or calibrating pressure measuring instruments and pressure switches, are said to be made far easier.
'Before' calibrations count more than many think
08 May, 2006 by Chris Sorensen, VP, Dickson Company
Not that rigorous? Anathema though this thought may be to most pharmaceutical quality managers, it is nonetheless quite apparent to companies such as ours, which make products critical to maintaining quality in pharmaceutical and other applications
Wine analysers
07 April, 2006 | Supplied by: Foss Pacific Pty Ltd
Foss has released a new generation of analysers for routine analysis of wine and grape-must. The analysers are: WineScan Grape for dedicated analysis of grape-must, WineScan Flex for analysis of both grape-must and wine and WineScan Auto for efficient, unattended analysis of wine.
Electron microscopy specimen preparation
