Featuring both confocal and super-resolution modes, the new Olympus SD-OSR microscope system has been launched
Super-resolution microscopy techniques have pushed the resolving power of light microscopes, but the methods can also cause photobleaching. Andy Extance discusses how scientific institutions and super-resolution companies are tackling this challenge
Physik Instrumente (PI) has introduced a new PInano super resolution (SR) microscope stage series, available in two variations: high precision with piezoresistive position feedback sensors, and high precision with high stability based on capacitive feedba
Leica Microsystems has launched the Leica DM4 P polarisation microscope for the investigation of crystalline structures such as minerals, plastics and polymers, drugs and pharmaceuticals, or pigments and cement
The Leica DM4 M and Leica DM6 M upright microscopes for materials investigation have been introduced by Leica Microsystems. Both instruments have been designed for imaging, measurement, and analysis of similar features across many samples and materials
