PicoQuant Extends its Diode Laser Family

PicoQuant has added two laser heads emitting at   395 nm and 420 nm to its LDH Series.
Both laser heads are ideal for exciting e.g. porphyrin or phthalocyanin containing samples in fluorescence microscopy or fluorescence spectroscopy. With pulse durations as short as 70 ps, they are match the time resolution of mainstream detectors, yet at a price much lower than of mode-locked lasers or nanosecond flashlamps. The two laser heads are also available in a dual mode version that allows picosecond pulsed as well as continuous-wave operation. moreMay. 04, 2012

Newport Introduces SCG-02 Wavelength Extender for Multimodal Spectroscopy and Imaging

Newport Corporation has specifically designed its SCG-02 Wavelength Extender as a modular solution for supercontinuum generation when used with femtosecond Ti:Sapphire lasers, such as Newport Spectra-Physics' Tsunami, MaiTai DeepSee, and MaiTai ultrafast oscillators. Ideal for a variety of spectroscopy and microscopy applications, the laser input is split into two parallel beams: moreJan. 16, 2012

Triple-Frequency Atomic Force Microscopy

It has previously been shown that bimodal tapping-mode AFM can provide increased compositional contrast. Here we discuss the addition of a third eigenmode to this scheme in order to acquire simultaneous topography, phase and frequency shift. The results suggest that, in general, the phase and frequency shift contrast exhibit anti-parallel behavior, although deviations from this trend are often observed in the experiments, such that all sources of contrast can provide complementary information. Multi-Frequency AFM moreDec. 06, 2011

X-Ray Spectroscopy Enables Elemental Mapping at the Atomic-Level

FEI Company has announced that elemental mapping at the atomic-level is now possible across the periodic table using ChemiSTEM Technology.
The combination of increased current in an atomic-sized probe by Cs-correction and the increase in X-ray detection sensitivity and beam current of the ChemiSTEM Technology allows results to be obtained within minutes. more
