Shuttle & Find for Life Sciences

Bridging the Micro and Nano World: One specimen, two microscope technologies, a new depth of information - this simple formula impressively summarizes the idea behind correlative light and electron microscopy. Particularly in the life sciences, the relationship between structure and function is increasingly becoming a focal point of interest. moreDec. 17, 2009

Correlative Microscopy for Material Analysis

Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) excels through strength, wear resistance and toughness - characteristics that make ADI the material of choice for use in combustion engines and gear box components. This means that safety aspects are also involved in addition to purely functional aspects. For this reason, changes in the ADI production process need to be monitored with respect to the material´s characteristics and must be optimized systematically. For the micro- and nanoscopic analysis of the structure and precipitations, scientists typically use both light and electron microscopes. more
