The CX-20 cabinet combines separate long-wave and short-wave 8-watt UV light sources with uniquely designed specular aluminum reflectors to assure maximum intensity and exceptional fluorescent contrast. An internal 25-watt white light bulb provides visible illumination. The unit has a removable bottom panel so it can be easily placed over 20 x 20 gels and TLC plates, or to provide greater illumination, over a Spectroline UV transilluminator...
The Specialised Imaging Kirana camera provides REL, Inc with the ability to create high-resolution images of the ultra high-speed events that often occur with materials testing. Taking up to 5,000,000 frames per second, and shuttering every 100 nanoseconds, there is no compromise in capturing high quality data. The data is exported in 180 frames so each test can be easily saved and viewed. The initial applications undertaken...
Uniquely combining high performance, leading edge features and affordability the omniDOC series provide an easy-to-use, yet powerful gel imaging system that satisfies the needs of most laboratories. The omniDOCi shares all the same features as the standard omniDOC but with the added benefit of wireless connectivity enabling the system to be run in a darkroom from a remote PC or tablet....
Users of the SPARC technology at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden are applying cathodoluminescence measurements to study the properties of nanophotonic devices. Dr Ruggero Verre is a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Applied Physics - Division of Bionanophotonics at the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg in southern Sweden. His work in the group headed by...
This 24-month project, funded from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7-SME-2013), will incorporate a contactless sample transportation system for histology. Histology, the microscopic examination of cell tissue samples, is an essential component in the early detection of diseases such as cancer. Total pathology services, of which histology is an important part, costs the UK’s NHS an estimated £2.5 billion...
The attention of the young development team was sharply focused on user-friendliness, design and technology. To dive into virtual worlds, all the user needs to do is select an appropriate VR app and slide his or her smartphone into the headset using the tray provided. ZEISS VR ONE will initially be available worldwide with a tray for the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone and the iPhone 6. Other models are in the pipeline. The Computer Aided...
Heading up this new organization is Dr Stefan Kaemmer who has been appointed General Manager of US Operations. Respected German technology leaders, JPK Instruments, are pleased to announce the opening of the first USA-based offices. With more than twelve years supplying nanoscale solutions worldwide for researchers in the bio, life and materials sciences, JPK is to open their offices in Southern California to support users across the...
The ability of uncontrolled agglomeration to substantially impact the performance and value of powder products makes efficient agglomerate detection vital across a number of industries. ‘Identification of agglomerates using automated image analysis’ presents practical strategies for efficiently and robustly differentiating agglomerates from primary particles, to support product development, QC and process troubleshooting....
Incorporating a supplementary optical port, that uses a beamsplitter to deliver 50% of the primary image to a secondary image plane, allowing secondary instruments to share the same optical axis, thereby providing true undistorted datasets for simultaneous data measurement. Recording simultaneous ultra fast two-dimensional and time-resolved images is of significant interest to scientists in a growing number of fields of study including...
The new kit uses imaging flow cytometry to obtain statistically significant quantitative assessment of NF?B translocation, as well as visual identification of the translocation at a single-cell level.
The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Plant Cell Walls is a collaborative project involving the Universities of Adelaide, Melbourne and Queensland in partnership with South Australia State Government and seven international institutions. Their aim is to advance fundamental scientific understanding of plant cell wall biology. Cell wall composition determines the quality of most plant-based products used in modern human societies...
ZEISS is introducing two new compact Greenough stereo microscopes for education, lab routine and industrial inspection: ZEISS Stemi 305 and ZEISS Stemi 508. Users are able to observe their samples in true color, 3D, with high contrast and free of distortion or color fringes. ZEISS Stemi 305 offers a 5:1 zoom. The microscope is easy to use and everything is integrated: LED illumination, reflected and transmitted light illuminations and documentation. Users choose...
Researchers at the major university are using a G:BOX Chemi XRQ multi-task imager to precisely analyse agarose gels of mouse and rabbit DNA stained with the safe fluorescent dye SybrSafe®. They are also utilising the G:BOX Chemi XRQ to easily image both large and small SDS-PAGE gels and chemiluminescent Western blots of proteins. This is allowing scientists at the university to accurately detect proteins and is contributing to identifying potential therapeutic targets in...
