Devising Nano Vision for an Optical Microscope
Contrary to conventional wisdom, technology’s advance into the vanishingly small realm of molecules and atoms may not be out of sight for the venerable optical microscope, after all. In fact, research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) suggests that a hybrid version of the optical microscope might be able to image and measure features smaller than 10 nanometers—a tiny fr...Microscopes at microscopic size
Traditionally if scientists wanted to look at something small they would put a sample under a microscope but now researchers have managed to shrink the microscope itself to the size of a single human cell. An interdisciplinary research team, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council (BBSRC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) have developed...New, unique microscope for nanotech
UC Davis researchers in nanotechnology, chemistry and biology now have access to one of the most advanced microscopes of its type in the world. The new Spectral Imaging Facility, opened this fall, is a combination of an atomic force microscope and a laser scanning confocal microscope, the first commercial machine of its kind. The atomic force microscope was built by Asylum Research of Sant...High-resolution light microscope reveals the fundamental mechanisms of nerve communication
In a simultaneous publication (Science Express, 13th April 2006), STED microscopy revealed the spatial distribution of the bruchpilot protein and aided neurobiologists from the European Neuroscience Institute and the University of Würzburgin understanding the protein's central role in the formation of active synaptic zones. STED microscopy radically distinguishes itself from conventional farfield...New light microscope sharpens scientists' focus
A new light microscope so powerful that it allows scientists peering inside cells to discern the precise location of nearly each individual protein they are studying has been developed and successfully demonstrated by scientists at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus in collaboration with researchers at the National Institutes of Health and Florida State University....TCSPC Confocal Microscope from HORIBA Jobin Yvon
Description:Time-resolved microscopy is the ultimate tool for investigating dynamic events in cells and subcellular structures. Its applications previously have been limited at wavelengths longer than 370 nm because microscope optics do not transmit in the deep UV. HORIBA Jobin Yvon, the leader in fluorescence spectroscopy, introduces a filter-based confocal system (the DynaMic) to measure fluorescence lifet...Slide Moat Microscope Slide Incubator from Sigma-Aldrich
Description:AC input: 230 V...COOLSCOPE Digital Microscope from Nikon
Description:COOLSCOPE is an integrated digital microscope and camera system that does not require a computer, equipment setup, optical adjustment or software installation. Built on Nikon's high-precision optics and innovative technology, COOLSCOPE combines simplicity and advanced technology for users of all levels. The COOLSCOPE offers simultaneous viewing of a macro image and a micro image at a magnific...Mechanical Cell Strain Instrument ST-160 Microscope Mountable from B-Bridge International
Description:Control and regulate cell stretching or compression of a single cell culture on a microscope stage. Computer controlled so you can precisely regulate the degree and frequency of the strain to produce 64 unique strain parameters. ST-160 has a narrower strain range then the ST-150. Both models are compatible with Nikon, Olympus, Leica, and Zeiss microscopes. ST-150 with 4 cm3 strain chamber...Mechanical Cell Strain Instrument STREX ST-195 Microscope Mountable from B-Bridge International
Description:The versatile ST-195 allows real-time observations of cell cultures under precise, controlled strain conditions. This instrument has 64 different strain parameters in addition to a microscope mountable CO2 incubator. The thin silicon strain chamber used by the ST-195 is compatible with inverted microscopes and fluorescence microscopy. ST-195 can be used with Nikon, Olympus, Leica, and Zeiss micro...Imago sells microscope to Iowa State
The lab will be the primary rese...Imago upgrades atom-probe microscope
Imago provides atom-probe microscopes, those that help find the location of atoms, to research facilities in the semiconductor, data storage, and advanced materials markets worldwide...Fact and friction: Putting election-year stem cell claims under the microscope
Or perhaps it only seems so in light of 2006 campaign year claims and counter-claims swirling around the "wedge issue" of human embryonic stem cell research. To assist those who won't complete...Imago earns more acclaim for microscope
A panel of industry experts appointed by recently r...Northwestern adds to its Imago microscope
