Bruker Nano today announced that its N8 TITANOS™ large-sample inspection AFM has been further improved to provide highest spatial resolving power
The new super corrected Olympus 60x, NA 1.4 microscope objective is the world’s best-corrected microscope objective lens, designed to deliver its optimal levels of performance using light at wavelengths not only up to 650nm, but down to the unprecedented 405nm wavelength as well. It is useful for cell biologists, neuroscientists and others using lasers for imaging inter- and intracellular detail in biological specimens.
Olympus, the world leader in objective-based total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, has announced another significant leap forward in multicolor TIRF imaging
Nikon Corporation, an innovator of advanced optical instruments, announced today that it has signed a licensing agreement with Harvard University granting Nikon the rights to use the Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) technology. Under the terms of the agreement, Nikon will manufacture STORM enabled microscopy systems and market them with the N-STORM name.
Carl Zeiss completed the installation and acceptance testing of a transmission electron microscope
Together with several pilot customers, Carl Zeiss has started application development for correlative microscopy in materials analysis and performed the initial installations of the platform Shuttle & Find. The focus of attention is the analysis of structures (e.g. polished sections), fractures, and particles.
A new miniature, hand-held microscope may allow more precise removal of brain tumors and an easier recognition of tumor locations during surgery.
Asylum Research, the technology leader in Scanning Probe and Atomic Force Microscopy (SPM/AFM), has announced a new grant program for early adopters to explore the capabilities and applications of the unique new Band Excitation technique. Existing or new Asylum AFM users are encouraged to apply for grants valued at up to $50,000 USD. Additional information on grant submission content and procedures is provided at http://www.asylumresearch.com/grants.
The National Research Council Canada (NRC) recently helped Olympus, a world leader in advanced optical microscopy and medical imaging, to design and commercialize a CARS (Coherent Anti-stokes Raman Scattering) microscope. A new CARS user facility will open its doors to Canadian researchers and the medical community in Ottawa on November 17, 2009.
Although recent advances have raised hopes that a protective vaccine can be developed, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) remains a major public health problem. Much has been learned about HIV-1, the virus that causes the disease. However, basic aspects of person-to-person transmission and of the progressive intercellular infection that depletes the immune system of its vital T cells remain imperfectly understood. In a paper published today in the online journal PloS Pathogens, Professor Don Lamb's group at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munichs's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, together with colleagues in Heidelberg, describe in detail how new virus particles assemble at the membrane of infected cells, and are released to attack healthy cells nearby. The new findings could help provide clues as how to interrupt the process of intercellular viral spread. (PLoS Pathogens, 6 November 2009)
