CryoCloud has recently secured a significant milestone in its journey to revolutionise the field of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), closing a €500,000 pre-seed funding round. Co-founded in 2021 by Robert Englmeier, Ilja Gubins, and Boy Persoon, CryoCloud has rapidly progressed from its conceptual stages, through various accelerator programs, to the launch of a pioneering cloud-based data analysis platform designed to enhance the accessibility and efficiency of cryo-EM in drug development and research...
Leica Microsystems, a leader in microscopy and scientific instrumentation, has revealed TauSTED Xtend, a new STED microscopy approach that enables extended multicolor live cell imaging at nanoscopic resolution. By combining spatial and lifetime information, TauSTED Xtend resolves details of live or intact specimens at nanoscale. At the same time, the access to that extra level of information allows working at extremely low light dose...
In August 2023 we were looking back at the great Dutch pioneer of microscopy, Antony van Leeuwenhoek, who died 300 years ago. When news was released of my discovering Leeuwenhoek’s original specimens, it did not take long for someone to realise that they had one of his microscopes at home. Later, two more appeared, within the space of a few months. Then, in December 2023, a fourth emerged. This one was a silver microscope found during a house clearance in East Anglia...
Greater selection of NucSpot® Nuclear Stains promotes further precision, efficiency, and reliability in cell imaging with selective nuclear targeting and exceptional photostability. Biotium, a leader in fluorescent dyes for life science research, announces the expansion of its NucSpot® Nuclear Stains lineup, offering unprecedented specificity and flexibility for nuclear counterstaining. NucSpot® Nuclear Stains are membrane-impermeant, targeting the nucleus selectively with minimal fluorescence until binding to DNA...
Evident, formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of Olympus Corporation, announced its fifth annual Image of the Year competition is now open for entries through April 30, 2024. Each year, the contest recognizes the best in scientific imaging worldwide. For the first time, the 2024 contest will welcome video submissions to show the art of capturing small changes in motion under the microscope. Contestants may enter by uploading up to three images and three video files, with a description of the equipment used...
Quibim, a global company pioneering imaging biomarkers for precision medicine, has announced the launch of a new product, QP-Insights, which enables researchers to leverage clinical imaging data throughout drug development programs. QP-Insights was designed alongside researchers to provide a comprehensive platform for medical images and other multi-omics (e.g. clinical and genetic) data to be stored, accessed, and analyzed...
The Nikon BioImaging Lab and Nikon Healthcare R&D Center are the latest additions to a growing global network that includes Nikon Imaging Centers and Nikon Centers of Excellence at leading research institutions. Through these hubs, Nikon strives to collaborate with scientists working in industry and academia to not only meet their immediate research needs, but to also drive development of cutting-edge innovations and products to meet future needs in drug discovery, basic research and healthcare...
Leica Microsystems, a world leader in microscopy and scientific instrumentation, has launched an evolved version of its ARveo 8 digital visualization microscope for neurosurgery. The ever-growing ecosystem, ARveo 8, enhances surgical visualization through the application of a 3D view and Augmented-Reality (AR) fluorescence. For brain-tumor surgery, the new GLOW400 3D AR fluorescence helps surgeons to achieve a new level of clinical value creation with clear visualization of both anatomical structures and a wide range of fluorescence information...
Yokogawa Electric Corporation has announced the introduction of the CQ3000, a high-content analysis system for capturing high-definition 3D microscopic images of live cell cultures. Expanding the company’s CellVoyager™ family of products, the CQ3000 will be launched commercially later in 2024. The CQ3000 has been designed to capture 3D microscopic images of live cell cultures in high definition at high speed...
