German start-up Linnowave’s Vaheat provides a novel approach for precise and rapid temperature controllability in optical high resolution microscopy of live cells

Photon counting specialist Becker Hickl’s BH Fastac (fast acquisition) FLIM system works in combination with Zeiss’ LSM 880 NLO multiphoton laser scanning microscopes

Jenoptik Optical Systems has announced the development of an innovative technology to bring artificial intelligence (AI) to conventional microscopy

Olympus has launched the Iplex G Lite, which is well suited to the often-adverse conditions of industrial inspections

Iolight has launched an Android app for its Magnificent Mobile Microscope, which complements the existing app for iPads and iPhones and means that the Magnificent Mobile Microscope can now be used with most field portable screens.

Witec has launched the Alpha300 Ri inverted Raman microscope. It combines the advantages of data acquisition from below with the established merits of 3D confocal Raman imaging, a powerful and versatile technique that can chemically characterise samples non-destructively and without labelling or other specialised preparation

Luxendo, a Bruker company, has extended its InVi SPIM microscope to include full incubation capabilities, as well as flexible illumination and detection optics. Luxendo’s single-plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) technique reduces sampling times over conventional laser scanning confocal microscopes, while reducing phototoxicity and damaging side effects on living specimens. The new technology also enables the fastest scan speeds for volumetric imaging of small organisms, cell monolayers, and cleared tissue.

Vision Engineering’s recently unveiled EVO Cam II digital microscope offers excellent image quality, intuitive operation and a host of new features over its predecessor

Designed for the observation and inspection of metal components, the Olympus GX53 inverted metallurgical microscope features an LED light source for long life and low power consumption
