X-ray diffractometer
01 December, 2008The SuperNova dual wavelength X-ray diffractometer from Oxford Diffraction is designed for the analysis of small molecules and proteins. The instrument uses high-intensity micro-source X-ray technology to determine the structure of small molecules and proteins at high resolution.
Counting hair
03 November, 2008CSIRO has developed maths-based imaging technology to measure hair on different parts of the human body.
Back illuminated EMCCD camera
08 October, 2008Andor has available the iXonEM+, a dedicated, compact, truly high-end platform, designed to get the best from electron multiplying CCD (EMCCD) technology.
Decoding DaVinci
08 August, 2008NMR is being used to non-invasively map the layers of paint in old masterpieces.
CCD microscopy camera
01 August, 2008The Lumenera InfinityX-32 pixel shifting camera has been specifically designed for users in the clinical, life and material science fields. This camera offers 32 megapixel resolution, high sensitivity, 12-bit data and low noise levels.
Twin lasers improve precision measurement
25 July, 2008The twin laser technology, developed by physicists from ANU and Laboratoire Kastler Brossel in Paris in the laboratories of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Quantum-Atom Optics at ANU, may dramatically improve precision measurement ranging from atomic to outer-space applications.
Imaging system
04 June, 2008The Leica TCS LSI is a pioneering imaging system for studies of the dynamics of cell growth, differentiation processes and the development of organs in vivo.
High-resolution gel documentation system
04 June, 2008Dolphin-Doc Plus is a high-performance gel documentation image system suitable for fluorescent DNA and protein gel visualisation.
Gel documentation and digital colour imaging system
07 November, 2007The UVP PhotoDoc-It imaging system is suitable for basic documentation of gels and plates. The system is configured for limited laboratory space and budgets.
Ultrasensitive optical sensor detects viruses fast
31 January, 2007Scientists of the Biophysical Engineering Group of the University of Twente in The Netherlands have developed an ultrasensitive sensor that can be used in a handheld device to, within minutes, detect various viruses and measure their concentration.
lucaEM EMCCD camera
08 December, 2006Andor's lucaEM is an electron multiplying CCD camera that is cost effective and powerful. Representing a new performance standard in 'workhorse' cameras lucaEM can operate 'gain off' for conventional CCD operation under brighter conditions. When the photons become scarce the EM gain can be turned on.
Imaging like insect eyes
09 October, 2006By mimicking how insects see, a University of Adelaide researcher can now produce digital videos in which you can see every detail. The technique solves a critical problem for surveillance cameras, where the clarity of images is everything
Image processing and analysis
11 September, 2006Image-Pro Plus version 6.0 offers an abundance of image processing and analysis capabilities to increase accuracy and automate research, development and quality processes. This major version release of Image-Pro Plus includes a number of new image analysis tools along with support for Windows XP x64 operating systems.
High-speed digital camera
09 August, 2006Based on the SpeedCam MiniVis, the versions MiniVis ECO-1 and ECO-2 offer a maximum of flexibility in resolution and speed. The sophisticated systems convince users with a maximum resolution up to 1.280 x 1.024 pixels and recording speeds of up to 32.000 frames per second, with reduced resolution (ECO-2). The ECO series cameras are suitable for any R&D laboratory application that requires high-speed video.
EMCCD camera
09 August, 2006The EMCCD camera from Andor, the iXonEM+ combines photon collection efficiencies of up to 95% QE with single photon sensitivity through virtual elimination of the read noise detection limit. The range offers multiple readout speeds up to 35 MHz, 14 and 16 bit digitisation and benefits from negligible dark current with thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C. Andor's vertical clock parameters ensure that clock induced charge (spurious noise) is low. Rapid vertical clocking ensures the frame rates are fast and smear is minimal.
