Microscope reveals changes over time
09 October, 2006 by David WelshA three-dimensional microscope that works in a new way is giving unprecedented insight into the internal structure and chemical composition of materials
Confocal microscopy
09 August, 2006Leica Microsystems has released a compact, high resolution spectral confocal system - the Leica TCS SPE - which features true spectral detection across the full emission range.
Electron microscopy specimen preparation
07 April, 2006The Auto 306 high vacuum coating system provides the electron microscopist with a high quality vacuum system capable of performing a wide range of different preparation techniques in a single vacuum chamber.
New look for optical microscopy
21 February, 2006Physicists in Switzerland and Germany have made a new type of optical microscope that can produce images without capturing light from the sample. The new device relies on measuring changes in the properties of a gold nanoparticle placed next to the sample. The nanoantenna could have application in sensing devices (Phys Rev Lett 95 200801).
Microscope allows the tracking of a functioning protein
08 February, 2006 by Mark ShwartzA Stanford University research team has designed the first microscope sensitive enough to track the real-time motion of a single protein down to the level of its individual atoms
Microscopes at microscopic size
10 April, 2005Traditionally if scientists wanted to look at something small they would put a sample under a microscope but now researchers have managed to shrink the microscope itself to the size of a single human cell.
Desktop metal analysis
15 February, 2005The Belec Lab 3000s desktop spectrometer weighs 49 kg and is a compact unit for metal analysis.
Research microscope
15 February, 2005The Eclipse 90i, an addition to Nikon's i-series of microscopes, is an automated biological research tool optimised for digital image capture.
