Overview of Fluorescent Dyes in terms of Applications and Properties

An introduction to commonly used fluorescent dyes and an overview of their characteristics are given in this article. Fluorescence microscopy is used for the study of specific cellular components with…
LMD ionizer before & after cut.

Eliminating Electrostatic Interference in Laser Microdissection

Electrostatic charge in laser microdissection (LMD) causes two critical failures: samples stick to charged surfaces and are lost, or samples fly into adjacent wells and cause cross-contamination. We…
Region of a patterned wafer inspected using optical microscopy and automated and reproducible DIC (differential interference contrast). With DIC users are able to visualize small height differences on the wafer surface more easily.

6-Inch Wafer Inspection Microscope for Reliably Observing Small Height Differences

A 6-inch wafer inspection microscope with automated and reproducible DIC (differential interference contrast) imaging, no matter the skill level of users, is described in this article. Manufacturing…

A Larger 3D Area in Focus for Neurosurgical and Ophthalmic Microscopes

Neurosurgeons and ophthalmologists deal with delicate structures, deep or narrow cavities and tiny structures with vitally important functions. Seeing a clear, large 3D area of the surgical field in…

Infinity Optical Systems - From “Infinity Optics” to the Infinity Port

“Infinity Optics” is the concept of a light path with parallel rays between the objective and tube lens of a microscope [1]. Placing flat optical components into this “infinity space” which do not…
Quality assurance during production in a manufacturing plant.

Quality Assurance Improvement Across Industries

Precision is paramount. Imagine a pacemaker that fails mid-operation or a semiconductor flaw that causes a critical system crash. In industries, such as medical devices, electronics, and…

How AR Fluorescence Imaging Supports Neurovascular Surgery

In this article, we explain how fluorescence imaging works in vascular neurosurgery and explain the benefits of the GLOW800 Augmented Reality fluorescence application.

How a Breakthrough in Spatial Proteomics Saved Lives

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare but devastating reaction to common medications like antibiotics or gout treatments. It begins innocuously, often as a rash, but can escalate rapidly into…
