A new advanced imaging scheme-with a resolution ten times better than that of its counterparts to date-can resolve objects as small as atoms. Previously, the maximum resolution of optical instruments, including cameras and microscopes, was fundamentally limited to a precision that corresponded to approximately half of the wavelength of incoming light.

The Agilent Monolithic Laser Combiner MLC 400, distributed by Laser 2000 Europe, is a perfect solution for confocal, super resolution and fluorescence microscopy. Long-life DPSS and diode lasers are efficiently combined in a single output fiber, which is coupled to the microscope. With the integrated AOTF fast switching between the wavelengths and fast regulation of the output power is possible.
The unique design includes permanent factory alignment. No more losing time with adjusting lasers instead of taking microscope images.

Cell motility is an essential process for most uni- and multi-cellular forms of life. The study of evolutionary ancient and thus divergent cells can yield interesting insights into our very basic understanding of molecular processes conferring cellular motility. The Plasmodium sporozoite represents a unique cell that migrates in vitro in near perfect circles due to its crescent shape. This allows the combination of high throughput imaging with reverse genetics to dissect how these cells move.

The Zeiss Microscopy Labs in Munich were opened by Dr. Michael Kaschke, President and CEO of Carl Zeiss AG and Dr. Ulrich Simon, Managing Director of Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH on 11 October 2011. British Digital Artist Jo Berry exhibited her work alongside the event. She processes and transforms scientific images captured with the Carl Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope. Her work will be on show in the Microscopy Labs until next spring.
