Most surface science technologies offer a wide array of particular subtechniques that offer complementary information to enhance the primary imaging mode. Electron microscopy is certainly no exception. All but the simplest electron microscopes offer a number of ports for the installation of additional analyzers. One particular type of analysis is known as cathodoluminescence (CL), which […]
Surface Measurement Systems (SMS) has provided instruments, chiefly dynamic vapor sorption systems, for solids characterization, including powders and fibers, for 18 years. Dr. Nishil Malde, International product manager at SMS told IBO, “SMS coined the phrase ‘Dynamic Vapour Sorption’ (DVS). We were the first company to develop and manufacture the first commercial, fully automated DVS […]
Company Announcements Carl Zeiss SMT, the University of Ulm and CEOS GmbH announced a partnership to develop a low-voltage transmission electron microscope (TEM). The five-year €11.5 million ($14.7 million) project will receive €4.2 million ($5.4 million) from the German Research Foundation and €3.7 million ($4.7 million) from Carl Zeiss. NanoInk’s NanoFrabrication Systems Division appointed Quantum […]
Company Announcements Nikon Instruments expanded its distribution of JOEL’s NeoScope benchtop scanning electron microscope (see IBO 3/15/08) to Europe in December 2008. In January, SPECS GmbH, a developer of surface analysis tools and UHV equipment, acquired Nanosis GmbH, a supplier of nanotechnology control equipment. Nanosis’s operations will remain in Zurich, Switzerland. FEI’s 2008 revenues grew […]
Company Announcements Nanosurf AG appointed RL Artal as its official agent for Hungary and Anamet SRO as its distributor for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Nikon Instruments signed a value-added reseller agreement to sell the ChromoDynamics’ HSi-300 Hyperspectral Imaging System with its Eclipse 90i and Ti series of microscopes. The System addresses the removal of […]
Surface science techniques include a variety of microscopic techniques for the analysis of surfaces and other microscopic features or samples. Images can be formed through several complementary techniques, ranging from traditional optical microscopy to more advanced optical techniques and methods that rely on imaging probes other than ordinary light, such as electron microscopy and scanning […]
Company Announcements FEI and Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry are collaborating on a correlative microscopy solution for the acquisition of TEM images of molecular entities found using optical microscopy techniques. In August, Intellection promoted CFO/COO Chris Staples to CEO. In November, Carl Zeiss opened a subsidiary for its Industrial Metrology business in Istanbul, Turkey, in […]
In 1989, multiphoton microscopy (MPM) was developed as an offshoot of confocal microscopy to provide deeper imaging capabilities while causing less damage to samples. The multiphoton imaging market is expected to grow by 12% in 2009 to over $27 million. As the market matures, the largest providers of multiphoton products are addressing many of the […]
Company Announcements Intellection appointed Beamtech Nordiska AB as its exclusive distributor for Sweden, Scandinavia and the Baltic States. Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH named Dr. Stefan Traeger managing director in June. Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH’s Life Science reorganized into three strategic business units in June: Life Science Research, Clinical Imaging and Nanotechnology. FEI will market and […]
