Fluorescent Nanotubes to Illuminate the Inner Workings of Laboratory Mice

Stanford researchers have developed an improved imaging method using fluorescent carbon nanotubes that create color images centimeters beneath the skin with far more clarity than conventional dyes provide. For a creature the size of a mouse, a few centimeters makes a great difference. moreJun. 14, 2011

Cobolt Fandango 515 nm: A Solid State Alternative to Ar+ Gas Lasers

Cobolt has released Cobolt Fandango, a higher power model of its 515 nm solid-state laser.
Cobolt Fandango is a continuous-wave solid-state laser operating at a fixed wavelength 515 nm and with output powers of 25 mW, 50 mW, 100 mW and now 150 mW. It is a single longitudinal mode laser, with very low noise (<0.3 % rms), narrow spectral line width (typically <30 MHz) and exceptionally high beam quality (M2<1.1). moreJun. 10, 2011

Silicon Immersion Objectives for Long-Term or Deep-Penetration Imaging

Olympus has introduced UPLSAPO30xS and UPLSAPO60xS, two new silicon immersion objectives for life science imaging.
The lenses are ideal for live cell experiments, particularly those investigating thick samples or requiring long-term imaging. more
