High Pressure Freezing Protocols for Ultrastructural 3D EM

High pressure freezing (HPF) can help preserve hydrated cells and tissues close to their biological state at the moment of immobilization, supporting more reliable ultrastructural interpretation than…
Image of glass with primary corundum having numerous inclusions. It was taken with a microscope using polarization contrast.

Ensuring Glass Quality with the Polarization Microscopy Advantage

Glass is one of the oldest materials known. Today, it is used for many applications, e.g., optical instruments, windows, doors, solar panels, containers for food, beverages, and medicine, so strict…

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…
