Automatic Slide Oiler from Prior Scientific

Prior Scientific has introduced an automatic oiler to provide greater levels of automation and flexibility in the field of optical microscopy. PL-220 is an extension to Prior's automatic slide loader
Application Fields
The PL-220 automatic oiler is ideal for applications in Cytology and Cytogenetics, or other high throughput applications where high magnification, high numerical aperture objectives are used. moreJul. 14, 2010

New Autofocus Module

The new customizable focus module M3-F adds precision lens motion to the smallest OEM cameras. A fully integrated package measuring only 20 x 22 x 18.5 mm. The module mounts on the board camera PCB and can easily replace the lens holder in existing fixed-focus camera designs or new developed designs. M3-F modules have low power consumption and 3.3 V input voltage for battery-powered operation. moreJun. 09, 2010

Fast, Cost Effective Piezo Z-Stage for all Major Microscopes

The new nano piezo-Z stages from Physik Instrumente are optimized for very fast step and settle and easy integration into high-resolution microscope applications. They feature a very low profile a large aperture, and travel ranges of up to 200 µm with sub-nanometer closed-loop resolution-ideal for leading-edge microscopy and imaging applications. The piezo stages are designed for inverted microscopes from the four major manufacturers: Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss and Leica. The low profile design of 20 mm (0.8") facilitates the integration. moreMay. 18, 2010

InGaAs Camera Among Extensions

Critical Link announced the expansion of its MityCCDtm scientific camera line. In addition to the back-illuminated sensors that Critical Link cameras have historically employed, MityCCD cameras are now available with front-illuminated, deep depletion, open electrode, and InGaAs sensors. These additions will enable the OEM customers - including high-performance scientific instrumentation, scientific imaging, and industrial inspection application providers - to take advantage of the MityCCD's benefits: low noise, high value, and full configurability and programmability. more
