United States, Japan and Asia-Pacific collectively command over 72% of the world microscopes market as stated by the recent report published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing market for microscopes at a CAGR of 11.2% over the 2011-2015 period. The rapid pace of industrialization in developing countries such as India, China, Thailand, Taiwan and South Korea, is expected to boost global demand for microscopes in the upcoming years. Developing markets are additionally emerging into hot-spots for production activities with manufacturers increasingly relocating production activities from the saturating Western Europe and North America markets to Eastern Europe and Asia Pacific, in an attempt to cut costs.
Charles Rosenblatt, professor of physics and macromolecular science at Case Western Reserve University, and his research group have developed a method of 3D optical imaging of anisotropic fluids such as liquid crystals, with volumetric resolution one thousand times smaller than existing techniques. A research paper detailing the team's findings appeared in the advanced online publication of Nature Physics.
Nikon Instruments Inc. announced that it has appointed Laboratory Supply Company, "LABSCO" its clinical laboratory dealer in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio and West Virginia. LABSCO, the largest privately held distributor of clinical lab products in the United States, will sell Nikon's market leading i-Series Laboratory Microscopes and DS Series Digital Cameras to the health care market in these states.
The most advanced and powerful electron microscope on the planet-capable of unprecedented resolution-has been installed in the new Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy at McMaster University.
R+D Magazine has recognized a tabletop microscope developed by a team of Colorado State University and Berkeley researchers at the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center for Science and Technology as one of the Top 100 most significant technological advances for 2008.
The special SESAM system, a high performance version of the LIBRA® 200 transmission electron microscope series from Carl Zeiss SMT, has been in use at the Stuttgart Center for Electron Microscopy (StEM) of the Max-Planck-Institute for Metals Research (MPI-MF) for the past 10 months.
Nanopositioning specialist PI has released a new catalog entitled "Tools for Microscopy and Imaging", available for download in PDF format.
With the appearance of gracefully swooping beams of light or a colorful array of feathers, a dazzling photo of Pleurosigma (marine diatoms) has won the 2008 Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition. Michael Stringer of Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, United Kingdom took home the top honor with this image, which was magnified 200 times and taken using darkfield and polarized light.
Charles Rosenblatt, professor of physics and macromolecular science at Case Western Reserve University, and his research group have developed a method of 3D optical imaging of anisotropic fluids such liquid crystals, with volumetric resolution one thousand times smaller than existing techniques. A research paper detailing the team's findings appeared in the September 21 advanced online publication of Nature Physics. The print version will be available soon.
A new research field called transformation optics may usher in a host of radical advances including a cloak of invisibility and ultra-powerful microscopes and computers by harnessing nanotechnology and "metamaterials."
