In work that solves a long-standing mystery in neuroscience, researchers at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory have shown for the first time that star-shaped brain cells called astrocytes--previously considered bit players by most neuroscientists--make noninvasive brain scans possible.
PI (Physik Instrumente) has extended its line of piezo stages for scanning microscopy applications. The P-737 Piezo Z-Focusing Stage is offered along with the stiffer, P-726 high performance microscope lens focusing system for large NA microscope objectives and the redesigned P-686 XY piezo motor positioning stage providing long travel ranges to 25x25 mm.
Zecotek Photonics Inc. is pleased to announce that the National Cancer Institute, a division of the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH), recently conducted tests on its proprietary Green Fiber Laser (GFL-550) in flow cytometry applications.
Nikon Instruments Inc. and Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine announced the opening of a collaborative core microscopy imaging center, establishing a partnership that brings improved research capabilities to Northwestern, while providing critical feedback for Nikon product development.
Veeco Instruments Inc., a leading provider of instrumentation to the nanoscience community, today introduced HarmoniXTM, a powerful new atomic force microscope (AFM) technique for high-resolution nanoscale imaging and analysis. Veeco's HarmoniX Nanoscale Material Property Mapping enables AFM users to simultaneously, and in real-time, acquire high-resolution images as well as high-resolution, quantitative material property maps.
The laser scanning microscopy is a well-established visualising method for different fields of application. The objects being detected are raster scanned by a focusing laser beam and the light diffused from the samples surface is collected by a suitable mounted detector.
Celestron®, one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers of telescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, microscopes and related accessories, along with Synta Optical Technologies announced the addition of Sky-Watcher USA to its already well established and well respected product offering.
Scientifica is pleased to announce the launch of X-Cite Exact, X-Cite Radiometer fluorescence illumination light source from EXFO.
Researchers have been unable to build an ideal "photonic crystal" to manipulate visible light, impeding the dream of ultrafast optical computers. But now, University of Utah chemists have discovered that nature already has designed photonic crystals with the ideal, diamond-like structure: They are found in the shimmering, iridescent green scales of a beetle from Brazil.
Special Optics, Inc., a Navitar company and manufacturer of high precision ultraviolet (UV) optical systems, has expanded their broad range of UV lenses to include a high N.A. UV microscope objective with a numerical aperture of 0.90.
