25.08.2010The Olympus cellSens deconvolution solution module employs a constrained iterative (CI) algorithm to remove out-of-focus blur in advanced life science imaging. This high-speed operation provides extremely sharp images, as well as near confocal quality, with the ability to correct for any spherical aberrations. Using a specialised and improved algorithm, the deconvolution solution module provides advanced, high-speed image restoration.
more18.08.2010To adjust new lasers and dyes in FACS systems it will be necessary to mount new dichroics and bandpass filters. Many systems allow an easy change of these optical filters in their system (FACS Aria, MoFlo, CyFlow....) by means of changing the filterholder. AHF analysentechnik AG offers these specific dichroics for many laser applications as well as dye specific narrowband bandpass filters, blocked against laser light from all different laser sources.

more17.08.2010Jackson Immuno Research Laboratories has recently added Dylight 405 to its range of conjugated secondary antibodies. Dylight 405-conjugated antibodies are excited maximally at about 400 nm and fluorescence with a peak at about 421 nm. They are very bright and photo stable, but their use is limited to confocal microscopes equipped with a 405 nm laser and appropriate emission filter. It is now possible to perform effective four color imaging with great colour separation, good photo stability and high sensitivity in both aqueous and permanent mounting media.
more13.08.2010The OptoSplit image splitters from Cairn Research allow two or three wavelengths of light to be imaged simultaneously on to different areas of a single camera chip. For some applications this approach doesn't provide sufficient spatial resolution and multiple camera chips are needed instead. The TwinCam is a modular instrument that allows two or more cameras to be coupled to the same microscope output port with pixel alignment. It uses the same filter cubes as the OptoSplit and multiport Microscope Coupling System and adds innovative fine alignment and focusing controls.
more11.08.2010In collaboration with Kurt Anderson at the Beatson Institute, Glasgow, Cairn Reserach has developed an illumination system for launching up to three different TIRF wavelengths simultaneously with widefield fluorescence. The neat twist to Kurt's design was to introduce the laser lines via right-angled fibres thus leaving the optical path unoccluded for widefield fluorescence. Having agreed to design and build the TIRF epi-illuminator Cairn Research realised that there were no laser launches available on the market that did exactly what they needed.
more11.08.2010The Fluorescence Lifetime (FLIM) upgrade kit from PicoQuant has been further improved and is now also available for the new two photon confocal microscope from Olympus, the FluoView FV1000MPE with non-descanned detection (NDD). The upgrade kit extends the capabilities of the microscope towards time-resolved FLIM measurements with a temporal resolution down to picoseconds and allows users to perform various analysis on this time scale.
more31.07.2010Edmund Optics (EO) introduces its new Techspec Spherical Aberration Compensation Plates. Featuring a precision BK7 substrate, these plates are an easy and convenient tool to compensate and correct spherical aberrations.
more30.07.2010Peqlab announced a distribution partnership with AMG, a division of Westover Scientific, to become the exclusive distributor of EVOS microscopes in Germany and Austria. EVOS microscopes are advanced all-in-one workstations featuring patented LED technology, a built-in computer, and integrated imaging software. EVOS inverted microscopes are available in fluorescence or transmitted light models.
