FLIR Systems has published a new guide book for military scientists, engineers and ballisticians interested in using thermal imaging for long range measurement and projectile tracking. With the abundance of temperature measurement tools available, why should researchers and engineers consider thermal imaging? One of the greatest advantages of thermal imaging cameras....

New ColorSEM technology from Thermo Fisher Scientific provides scientists more complete sample information and increased productivity. Scientists, engineers and researchers can now instantly view and analyze meaningful elemental content that is differentiated by color directly from a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The Thermo Scientific ColorSEM technology is the first commercial solution that includes integrated elemental analysis with unique color imaging. ...

In a paper published in the American Chemical Society journal researchers from Bourgogne University showed that the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) using multi modal – PET/MRI - showed promising improvements in imaging capabilities. Using an MR Solutions, cryogen free, 3T scanner with a PET clip on the sequential images were found to be highly beneficial providing high spatial resolution, high sensitivity....

SP Scientific has video interviewed Dr Kevin Ward of Biopharma Process Systems Ltd, to discuss the key benefits of the Lyostat5 Freeze-Drying Microscope (FDM), and how it can be used to generate critical formulation-specific data. Every freeze-drying formulation has a critical temperature, below which it should be maintained during primary drying in order to prevent processing defects....

Hitachi High-Technologies is set to launch two new scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), which will be unveiled at the 33rd Control in Stuttgart, Germany, between the 7th and 10th May. The SU3800 and oversized SU3900 SEMs feature the ability to accommodate large, heavy specimens, along with advanced functionalities for automated measurement and wide-angle camera navigation. ...

Smart Microscopy from ZEISS is a new concept for the routine digital documentation of microscopic samples. The microscopes ZEISS Axiolab 5 and ZEISS Axioscope 5, as well as the microscope cameras ZEISS Axiocam 202 mono and ZEISS Axiocam 208 color, can be combined to form a Smart Microscopy system that takes away a large share of the workload from the users. It automatically adjusts many of the required settings....

Deben, a leading provider of in-situ testing stages together with innovative accessories and components for microscopy, reports on the study of snake fangs at Stellenbosch University. The university used the Deben CT500 in the process of analysing the internal and external morphology and mechanical properties of venomous snake fangs. The motivation behind the campaign was to understand in detail the internal and external morphology and mechanical properties of snake fangs....

The NanoScanOP 400 provides the fastest step and settle time of any objective positioner available. Incorporating capacitive feedback sensors, it also has market leading positioning accuracy and resolution. Compatible with most microscopes and objective lenses, the system has settings optimized for different objective sizes, weights and performance requirements....

At the 60th Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference (ENC), Bruker announced a breakthrough in ultra-high field (UHF) high-resolution NMR spectroscopy applied to structural biology and the study of functional intrinsically disordered proteins....

MR Solutions is a world leader in preclinical imaging solutions involving MRI, PET, SPECT, and CT. This year’s award was for their ground breaking PET technology. The advanced PET scanner can be used as standalone unit, clipped on the front of any MR Solutions MRI or CT scanner for sequential imaging or inserted inside the bore of the magnet on an MRI scanner for simultaneous imaging....

An Exhibition Like No Other in Europe. The Microscience Microscopy Congress is the largest in Europe. It brings together more than 90 companies who never fail to impress with the quantity and quality of equipment that they have on show....

The proven ZEISS Celldiscoverer 7 is a fully integrated high-end imaging system with various incubation and detection options. It combines the easy-to-use automation of a boxed microscope with the image quality and flexibility of a classic inverted research microscope. To get better data from three-dimensional samples, it is now possible to add ZEISS LSM 900 with Airyscan 2 for confocal imaging...

Deben, a leading provider of in-situ testing stages together with innovative accessories and components for microscopy, reports on how University of Ghent have used the Deben CT5000 to study the Uniaxial Compressive Strength of four different depositional limestones. Sourced from the Paris Basin these limestones are often used as building material in France and Belgium. The University’s work was performed using HECTOR µCT partnered with...

The Videometerlab4 Multispectral Imaging System from Analytik now makes it possible to scan crop samples for Fusarium infection in under 10 seconds. The analytical methodology employed does not require traditional time-consuming sample preparation and eliminates the need for chemicals and costly consumables. Fusarium is a fungal disease which commonly affects wheat, barley, oats, triticale and grasses as seeds, seedlings and adult plants. The range of symptoms caused by...
