Diagnostic Transmission Electron Microscopy
The high resolution and sensitivity of electron microscopy is still a valuable tool, and for some diseases it is the gold standard in pathological diagnosis. Today the sample turnaround time for processing in the lab can be significantly reduced from days to hours by the microwave technology. In urgent clinical cases, microwave-assisted tissue processing, in combination with digital image acquisition, enables a "same-day" diagnosis. Ultrastructural telepathology allows instant and live second opinion retrieval from a remote expert worldwide.more
True Colour LED Illumination for Clinical Microscopy
The BX3 clinical microscope system from Olympus is used for analysis and disease diagnosis in pathology and cytology. Images with accurately rendered colours are created with a true colour LED illumination technology and built in Light Intensity Manager (LIM). more
LED-fluorescence Microscopy for Detection of Tuberculosis
For the efficient and rapid detection of tuberculosis bacteria the World Health Organization WHO now recommends LED-fluorescence microscopy. With Primo Star iLED Carl Zeiss developed, in cooperation with FIND (Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics), a microscope aligned for this application. Optimal image contrast and ease of use allow a reliable and rapid diagnosis. The economical and robust LED illumination can be switched to battery power in field laboratories and hospitals. This microscope is available in 22 countries with a particularly high rate of tuberculosis infections at a preferential price. more
Detecting Cellular Processes
A group of researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have designed and developed a biomedical scanner that detects cellular processes at the molecular level and indicates malfunctioning of an organ before said malfunction can produce an anatomical change. more
All-In-One Fluorescence Microscope
Conventional fluorescence observation requires operation in a darkroom in order not to lose the contrast to the background other than the signals. With the new BZ-9000 All-in-one Fluorescence Microscope, a fully integrated system designed for quickly analyzing biological specimens, using brightfield or fluorescence, without the need for a darkroom. more
Unlimited Possibilities
JPK's philosophy in the development of their instrumentation range has been to provide unlimited possibilities to their users. Working in scanning probe microscopy (SPM), a researcher may start with a basic system such as an atomic force microscope. Perhaps they would then add from a menu of operation modes to enable the study of specific sample properties, e.g. mechanical, electrical or electrochemical. JPK has a central platform known as the NanoWizard AFM. Their BioAFM head is now complemented by optional heads such as the CellHesion 200 and ForceRobot 300. more
Control of Microscopy Workflow and Digital Documentation
Olympus has recently launched labSens - a complete documentation package for clinical and research imaging. The software provides a workflow-oriented user interface, ensuring that the key functions for digital imaging, analysis and documentation are clearly presented and easy-to-use. This is achieved by seamlessly combining the new Olympus BX3 clinical microscopes with digital imaging cameras, as well as automation components, to provide the perfect conduit between the user, the process and the microscope system. more
Ultimate Imaging Systems
Olympus has launched the new BX3 upright research microscope systems at Biotechnica, Hannover. Following on from the successful BX2 range, the BX3 systems provide users with a ‘blank canvas' to fully define their own working environment: from the microscope and imaging components, through software workflows and GUIs, right down to the positioning of the controls on the desktop. The manual BX53 frame offers complete system flexibility with optional coded and automated modules and the BX63 frame provides advanced automation as standard. more
Concepts for an Individual Workflow
According to the principle „Build by your needs" Olympus has presented its upright BX3 microscope range and software series "labSens" and "cellSens" to journalists in Hamburg on August 26. Addressed to users in clinical routine and research the design of the instruments is driven by the intention to be adaptable to individual workflows. Additionally a high value is set on ergonomics. Besides digital imaging and analysis, documentation is the main feature of the software. more
Compact Microscope a Marvel
In a paper published online in the journal PLoS ONE, Rice alumnus Andrew Miller and co-authors show that his portable, battery-operated fluorescence microscope, which costs US-$ 240, stacks up nicely against devices that retail for as much as US-$ 40,000 in diagnosing signs of tuberculosis. Miller and colleagues at The Methodist Hospital Research Institute (TMHRI), USA analyzed samples from 19 patients suspected of having TB, an infectious disease that usually attacks the lungs and can be fatal if not treated. more- Legal
