New microscopy technologies, such as light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) or clearing methods, allow the imaging of large samples at high resolution or high frame rates. Handling, processing, and analyzing these multi-terabyte data sets has become increasingly difficult for scientists, e.g. in developmental biology and neuroscience. New tools are needed to overcome these challenges. Therefore, ZEISS has teamed up with arivis AG to offer complete...

The patent pending laser autofocus design puts all the required components into a single, user-installable cube that can be added at any time to a new or existing system. Laser autofocus offers speed, reproducibility and lowered risk of phototoxicity and photobleaching. With both laser autofocus and image-based autofocus available in Cytation, the system offers an important advantage in imaging – the ability to use the most appropriate autofocus...
Made using a patent-pending process, CellMax™ Cell Pellet Slides have a highly consistent density and homogeneity across the entire cell pellet block that ensures you get accurate results time after time. Cells are harvested by a proprietary trypsin-free method preserving cell surface antigens and inflicting minimal physical damage that could lead to a loss of biomarkers. CellMax™ slides produce accurate and reproducible results...
ZEISS celebrates the 50th anniversary of commercial scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In 1965, the first commercial SEM called Stereoscan was built by Cambridge Instrument Company, a UK based predecessor company of Carl Zeiss Microscopy Ltd. To mark the anniversary of this very first SEM sale 50 years ago, and celebrate the contributions to scientific research across so many fields and industries made possible through scanning electron microscopy...
This FREE-to-attend conference will be held on Wednesday 14th October as part of the growing two-day event at the visitor-friendly Ricoh Arena in Coventry. Optical techniques are increasingly being used to perform high accuracy measurements in aerospace, automotive and precision manufacturing.
