Gatan has introduced the Ilion+, a significant advance in the preparation of large planar cross sections for microscopic imaging and microanalysis. The Ilion+ is a dedicated, ion beam based system for the preparation of large area planar cross sections from challenging SEM samples. The product uses a proprietary milling system that exposes significantly greater areas than traditional FIB milling while encompassing a wider range of delicate samples not compatible with mechanical polishing and other techniques.

The GIF Quantum series represents Gatan's 4th and most advanced generation of post-column energy filters. Redesigned from the ground up, the GIF Quantum combines advanced dodecapole-based electron optics with a blazing fast CCD camera system to yield an imaging filter that defines the capture of both highly detailed EELS and EFTEM data sets with maximum throughput.

Gatan have launched Alto 1000, a concept in cryo-SEM that offers exactly the correct configuration of cryo-system for the user's specific applications and requirements.
No matter whether the requirement is to image specimens that are not vacuum sensitive but would be affected by e-beam heating, or if a user wishes to perform in-depth investigations of hydrated material including assessment of internal microstructure, an appropriate version of the system is available.

Gatan’s 3View system uses a high precision ultra-microtome operating in situ within a variable pressure, FE SEM, and allows automated acquisition of 3D ultrastructure by sequentially imaging the freshly cut, resin embedded block face. Due to serial imaging of the block face there is excellent registration between all images within an image stack. This allows simple exporting of the image files for 3-D rendering, without the need for tedious post-processing.

Microimaging Applications Group: The Microimaging Applications Group (MAG) comprises five imaging technology leaders: Gatan, Media Cybernetics, Photometrics, QImaging, and MAG Biosystems. These partners work independently as well as in synergy to offer an unparalleled range of solutions for microimaging applications. Michael Reubold spoke with Steven Ridge, MAG´s Vice President of Marketing about the concept and strategy behind the formation of MAG.
Imaging & Microscopy: Mr. Ridge, what was the reason for the creation of MAG?

FRET, FRAP, FISH - Technology & Techniques. The use of fluorescence microscopy in the life sciences runs the gamut from basic photodocumentation to dynamic single-molecule fluorescence (SMF) studies. Recent advances in digital imaging technology are helping to expand the utility and popularity of many fluorescence microscopy techniques, including Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
