Joint further development of 3D visualizations of multidimensional image data. ZEISS and arivis have now expanded and deepened their cooperation, which began in 2014. The companies are pursuing the common goal of enabling new findings in life sciences and in materials research by improving the presentation and analysis of digital data. Modern microscope systems with high-resolution optics record ever increasing amounts of data, which can only be displayed and analyzed with the help of advanced software...

BioTek has released a Peltier Cooling Modulefor the  Cytation™ Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Readers. The compact module keeps internal temperature rise to less than one degree over ambient, regardless of fluctuations from external and internal factors. The module helps maintain and optimize stability for more consistent data in assays run at ambient temperature. The module also quickly reduces internal temperature after incubated assays for efficient transitions between multiple applications with different temperature requirements....

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and the University of Leeds have today announced a critical milestone in going digital, by scanning every glass slide they produce. The milestone represents a major step towards achieving faster and accurate diagnosis for cancer patients in the future. The Pathology Department, located in St. James’ Hospital in Leeds, is one of the largest in the UK processing over 1,000 pathology slides a day, and is now digitally scanning every slide thanks to their partnership with Leica Biosystems....

BioTek introduces the new AutoScratch™Wound Making Tool to facilitate two dimensional (2D) collective cell migration and invasion applications. With a simple pushbutton operation, the AutoScratch automatically creates consistent scratches of equivalent size and area in confluent cell monolayers grown in 24- or 96-well microplate format. This eliminates variability found in manual scratch methods and increases the reproducibility necessary to analyze and normalize results across subsequent assays....

In the electronics quality control (QC) process by which entities review the quality of all factors involved in production, a visual product inspection is often performed. Here, every product is examined visually, often using a microscope due to the miniaturization before the product is sold into the external market. Inspectors will be provided with lists and descriptions of unacceptable product defects such as cracks or surface blemishes. Using a digital microscope enables the inspector to faster detect product defects by checking the magnified boards in FULL HD image quality.

Ground-breaking technology unlocks rapid and simple label-free 3D and 4D live cell imaging. A novel optical microscope utilizing diffraction tomography to generate 3D holographic images of unlabelled live cells is now available from Tomocube. Called HT-1, the new microscope delivers quantitative nanoscale, real-time, dynamic images of individual living cells quickly and simply without any sample preparation...

Money under the microscope - Financial comparison website money.co.uk, teamed up with the London Metropolitan University to put money under the microscope to discover what’s really lurking in your wallet - the findings are not for the faint hearted. Dr Paul Matewele, Professor of Microbiology at London Met, and his students took 36 samples from a random selection of all denominations of coins and notes. The microbiologists studied the bacteria in a controlled lab environment over a period of 8 weeks....
