Nano-laser for Medicine and Electronics
Lasers have revolutionized the communications and medical industries. They focus light to zap tumors and send digital TV signals and telephone communications around the world.But the physical length of an ordinary laser cannot be less than one half of the wavelength of its light, which limits its application in many industries. Now the Spaser, a new invention developed in part by Tel Aviv University, can be as small as needed to fuel nano-technologies of the future. more
Pathology Workstation for In Vitro Diagnostics
The in vitro diagnostics software Ariol on the Leica DM6000 B Research Microscope creates a perfect pathology workstation for the assessment of clinical brightfield and fluorescent biomarkers. The system integrates seamlessly into the pathologist's workflow with the means to digitize whole slides or regions of interest. more
Line Extension of Microscope Series
Witec introduced a line extension of the alpha300 microscope series. Building on the system's inherent modularity, the company has added several new microscope versions in order to meet all the diverse and multi-faceted customer requirements one may encounter. In the field of Raman Microscopy the new baseline is the micro Raman system alpha300 M for single point spectrum acquisitions and depth profiling. The alpha300 M+ is additionally equipped with a stepper motor and allows Raman mapping experiments and large area investigations. more
Fluorescence Microscope for High Sensitivity
For the three „global killer diseases", HIV/ AIDS, TB and Malaria, fast and reliable diagnosis is crucial for modern laboratory practices. In resource-limited settings, for example, TB is diagnosed by using sputum smears with microscopy for which fluorescence based microscopic techniques have shown to be much more sensitive than transmitted light microscopy, where M. tuberculosis bacilli in a significant number of cases are not seen. moreJan. 21, 2010Microscope Software Downloads and Links
Users of the AxioVision microscope software from Carl Zeiss receive fast and easy access to the documentation of the ZVI image format which has been specially developed for microscopy. The licensing required for integration into user-specific software programs is performed online. This means that all necessary information is available without delay to AxioVision users and software developers who want to visualize and evaluate ZVI images with their own software. more
Atomic Resolution
Bruker Nano announced that its N8 Titanos large-sample inspection AFM has been further improved to provide high spatial resolving power. Due to its AFM technology and mechanical stability, the AFM has now been demonstrated with atomic-scale resolution on HOPG (highly oriented pyrolythic graphite) on a production instrument in standard configuration. The AFM has proven itself once again as the most precise and stable AFM platform for large samples up to 300 mm diameter. more
N-STORM Microscopes will Enhance Resolution 10-fold
Nikon Instruments has announced that Nikon Corporation has signed a licensing agreement with Harvard University granting the company its rights to use the Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) technology. Under the terms of the agreement, Nikon will manufacture this technology enabled microscopy systems, designed to realize resolution higher than ever before achieved by conventional optical microscopes, and market them with the N-STORM name. moreDec. 16, 2009The “Walking” Mechanism of Kinesin-1 in 3D
Kinesin-1 is a molecular motor essential for cellular function. It transports components such as membrane-bound organelles and molecular complexes around a cell by travelling along microtubule filaments, which make up part of the cytoskeleton, while hydrolysing ATP. This motion is processive, in one direction only and is known to involve both of kinesin's two heads. Although extensively studied by a variety of techniques over many years, the mechanism these single-molecule motors use for this efficient motion on the nanoscale is not fully understood. more
Nano Focusing in Automated Microscopy
Advanced imaging microscopy often demands that images are collected with both speed and precision. Stepper motor driven focus mechanisms often do not meet the requirements essential to the success of the most demanding applications. New methods of automating the focus mechanism based on piezo drives offer a potential route to solve this problem. However it can be said that not all piezo drives were created equal, with certain formats offering far greater flexibility than others! more
Advanced Molecular Biology & Multi-dimensional Microscopy
Advanced Molecular Biology & Multi-dimensional Microscopy: The combination of advanced molecular biology and multi-dimensional microscopy can generate fascinating new insights into key biological functions and processes. Here we report on the development of a new method and device to investigate temperature sensitive mutations and/or temperature dependent biological processes at unprecedented high temporal-spatial resolution.Studying Gene Functions
