The Power of ImageJ

In 1997 Wayne Rasband, computer scientist at the National Institutes of Health (NIH, Bethesda, USA), released the first version of ImageJ. It is the successor of the image processing software NIH Image, which was well known at this time. NIH Image was exclusively tied to the Macintosh platform, the new software, however, is independent from platforms since it is completely programmed in Java, the lingua franca in the computer world. moreJan. 30, 2012

JPK Introduces Software With Quantitative Imaging Capabilities For Challenging AFM Samples

JPK Instruments has introduced QI, a quantitative imaging mode for the recently launched NanoWizard 3 AFM system.
The software has been developed to make AFM imaging easier than ever before. With QI, a force curve-based imaging mode, the user has the full control over the tip-sample force at every pixel of the image. There is no need for setpoint or gain adjustment while scanning. moreNov. 07, 2011

Olympus SC100 Digital Colour Camera

Olympus has introduced the new, easy-to-use SC100 digital colour camera for high quality brightfield imaging, especially where optimal colour reproduction and superior resolution are required.

The 10.5 megapixels sensor of the SC100 allows samples to be investigated in minute detail, particularly when using a low magnification objective. This frees users from needing to take multiple, high magnification images of a sample to preserve resolution.
