Positioning Systems for Vacuum Applications
PI miCos - Specialist for Precise Positioning Systems in a Vacuum: A wide variety of applications in microscopy or optical measurement technology require a sample or an optical element to be positioned in a vacuum of up to 10-11 hPa. One approach consists of positioners with vacuum stepper motors - from simple linear or rotation units to Hexapods and spacefabs that allow six-axis positioning in the smallest spaces with high accuracies of a few micrometers. more
EMBL Discovers the Stretching of Helices
Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Hamburg, Germany, have discovered that the elastic part of the protein myomesin can stretch to two and a half times its original length, unfolding in a way that was up to now unknown. more
Full-Field MicroXRF Imaging
To obtain volumetric information on the chemical composition inside objects, a full-field micro X-ray fluorescence (microXRF) imaging technique has been implemented. Opposed to the traditional point-by-point methods using confocal imaging, this new method collects complete 2D XRF projections of 3D objects without any scanning. And in contrast with EDX surface mapping in an SEM, having complete information from the entire volume allows creating 3D XRF images non-destructively by tomographic reconstruction. more
Microscope for High Spatial Resolution X-Ray Nanospectroscopy
Dr. Peter Guttmann and the microscopy group of PD Dr. Gerd Schneider at the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) Institute Soft Matter and Functional Materials have developed a new microscope for high spatial resolution X-ray spectroscopic studies. more

Developing a X-ray Source: From X-ray Free-electron Lasers to Biomedical Imaging
Two Colorado State University laser researchers are working to develop an X-ray source for the U.S. Department of Energy that could be used in everything from X-ray free-electron lasers to biomedical imaging. moreFeb. 03, 2011Terahertz Flashes Enable Accurate X-ray Measurements
Terahertz Flashes Enable Accurate X-ray Measurements: Many physical and chemical processes occur on extremely short time and length scales - as a rule within quadrillionths of a second on lengths of billionths of a metre. Researchers study such processes using intense ultrashort X-ray flashes. It is well known from photography: the faster a process occurs, the shorter the exposure must be which makes it visible.more
EDAX Introduces Apollo Silicon Drift Detector Series for TEM
EDAX released the Apollo Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) Series for the transmission electron microscope (TEM). The series includes the Apollo XLT with a Super Ultra Thin Window (SUTW) and the Apollo XLTW, a windowless version. The windowless version further maximizes the collection efficiency and improves sensitivity up to 500% for low-energy X-rays. As a result, the mapping speed and light element detection in low concentrations are enhanced with the Apollo XLTW. more
Molecular Movie
Scientists at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) and the Technische Universität Berlin (TUB) now can record two pictures at such a short time interval that it will soon be possible to observe molecules and nanostructures in real time. more- Legal
