A team of physicists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics is gaining unique insights into the nature of solid materials by monitoring the behaviour of quasi-crystalline 'super atoms' created inside a giant, room-sized Quantum Simulator, capturing the interactions with an Andor iXon 897 EMCCD camera.
Under a Settlement agreement, the two parties have agreed to permit the unrestricted distribution of products from the FINEVISION line (PhysIOL SA) and AT LISA tri line (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) as well as products based on this technology. Contrary to a statement made in an earlier press release by PhysIOL SA in the course of the proceedings, PhysIOL SA recognized IP rights held by Carl Zeiss Meditec AG and therefore accepted entering into an agreement with...
Attendees will have the rare opportunity to hear a talk from Professor Bruce Rafert, visiting from North Dakota State University (Fargo, USA) entitled “Before hyperspectral imaging ruled the World”. In addition to a brief historical overview, Professor Rafert will discuss several of the most interesting optical engineering challenges that have been addressed during his career. He will present some as-yet un-exploited features of...

At the 26th European Congress of Pathology (ECP) 2014, 30 August – 3 September in London, stand 5, Olympus will exhibit its...
The research team of Junior Professor Dr Winfried Römer is located at the Centre for Biological Signalling Studies (BIOSS) at the University of Freiburg. Under the title of Synthetic Biology of Signalling Processes, the Römer team studies the interactions of human pathogens (bacteria, viruses) and pathogenic products (toxins) with various human cells by using a highly interdisciplinary research approach at the interface of...
Corrosion is of primary concern in many industrial sectors, including oil, transportation, infrastructure, nuclear, and even bio-technology. At the University of Manchester, the Corrosion and Protection Centre has one of the world’s largest academic bases focused on corrosion and its control. Professor Stuart Lyon is the Director of Research and AkzoNobel Professor of Corrosion Control in the School of Materials. His research interests are...
CEO, Mr Sander den Hoedt, made the first of these presentations at the mmc2014 which was held in Manchester in July. DELMIC have developed an innovative product for life scientists - SECOM. The SECOM system is a platform that may be used to easily and quickly combine light and electron microscopy. In its primary configuration, the SECOM platform allows the user to obtain functional color information through fluorescence microscopy and structural information by using...
CAMECA, a world leader in scientific instrumentation and metrology solutions, is pleased to announce the release of its latest generation atom probe microscope. The LEAP 5000 offers unparalleled 3-dimensional nano-scale surface, bulk and interfacial materials analysis with atom-by-atom identification and accurate spatial positioning. “CAMECA is very proud to introduce the LEAP 5000,” notes Dr. Tom Kelly, CAMECA Vice President for Innovation and...
Today, ZEISS is introducing LSM 880 with Airyscan. The new confocal laser scanning microscope offers high sensitivity, enhanced resolution in x, y and z, and high image-acquisition speed in one system. Surveys results reveal that confocal imaging would benefit the most from increased sensitivity, resolution, and speed. Airyscan extends exactly those parameters. Users achieve a 1.7× higher resolution in all...
“It just works™” - that is what XEI Scientific is saying about its new Evactron® ES De-Contaminator™ - designed for OEM integration on SEMs/FIBs. The ES model starts easily with patent pending “POP” plasma ignition process. The simplified Evactron Plasma Radical Source (PRS) performs high efficiency cleaning in almost any high vacuum system.

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...
