JPK Instruments hosted the ninth annual international symposium on the applications of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and optical tweezers held in early October in Berlin, Germany. The meeting focused on applications developments in life sciences and attracted once more over 100 scientists from around the world. There were eighteen invited talks from leading scientists from Europe and Canada together with more than forty poster contributions provided a comprehensive overview about the current research topics in the fields of life sciences. moreJul. 09, 2010

Combined AFM Imaging and Force Measurement

With NanoWizard 3 BioScience AFM, JPK Instruments is introducing their third generation, dedicated BioAFM system. The core of the new system is HyperDrive, a SuperResolution AFM fluid imaging technique. With extremely low tip-sample interactions, samples are never damaged. It is available with the NanoWizard 3 AFM head and the new Vortis high bandwidth, low noise control electronics. The system is stable to drift and has the ability to detect the smallest cantilever deflections. moreDec. 07, 2009

Combined Optical/AFM Technology

Andor Technology announced the support for all Andor imaging EMCCD cameras within JPK Instruments products for nano-biotechnology.
With the addition of support for the EMCCD cameras to the software, true integration is obtained between fluorescence imaging on the one hand and NanoWizard AFM imaging or NanoTracker optical tweezers on the other. Scientists using the DirectOverlay functionality can now directly use the images coming from their EMCCD cameras. moreOct. 23, 2009
