Typical custom modifications include mounts for non-circular optical components and for supporting larger diameter optics (> 600mm). Various motorised mount options are also available to suit applications in hostile environments ...
Often in ultra high-speed imaging, it is difficult to synchronize your camera to the event that you are trying to record and analyze. Using the very flexible multiple triggering capability of SIM cameras you can actually capture frames prior to the trigger. In this way SIM Ultra Fast Framing Cameras take the 'black magic' out of synchronizing camera and event allowing you to spend more time on capturing research data rather than setting up your experiment...

ZEISS Microscopy announces that it will be demonstrating its new ZEISS Crossbeam Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope (FIB-SEM) at M&M 2014, August 3-7 at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, CT. ZEISS Crossbeam FIB-SEM increases throughput using a high beam current of up to 100 nA. While milling samples at unprecedented precision at all currents, users acquire images and analytical data in up to...
The FLIR A65sc produces crisp thermal images of 640 x 512 pixels allowing you to analyse experiments in the finest detail. Thermal imaging cameras can be used for a wide variety of R&D applications. However until now access to high performance thermal imaging was often the privilege of just larger R&D groups. Visualizing temperatures from -40°C to +550°C, with temperature differences as small as...
This new imaging suite will provide an inexpensive, yet rapid method of generating perfectly in-focus images of samples. The new Scopepad 500 features a 9 inch tablet integrated to a high-resolution 5 megapixel camera and software for image capture, annotation, measurements and image enhancement. The Scopepad 500 with its standard C-mount is easily fitted to any microscope with a camera port, allowing microscopists to have a...
