Company Announcements Nikon and JEOL announced a business alliance in February, including market and technology developments. Areas of cooperation include correlative microscopy. Nikon also made an investment in JEOL. In April, Anasys licensed a US Department of Energy Oak Ridge National Laboratory technology that allows for simultaneous chemical and physical characterization through the combination of […]
The Market Profile that appeared in the April 15 issue of IBO was incorrect. We regret the error. Below please find the corrected version. Advanced moisture analyzers measure moisture content in solids, liquids or gasses. These systems employ capacitance, NIR, automated Karl Fischer titration (KFT) or other techniques to obtain more precise and quicker measurements […]
Company Announcements Zeiss Microscopy sales fell 3.2% to €629 million ($828 million) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013, to make up 15% of revenues. The decline was due to restrained public sector investments in the US and Europe. Tescan established a UK subsidiary in December 2013, including a sales and service facility in […]
Analytik Jena entered the ICP market with the introduction of the PlasmaQuant PQ 9000 ICP-OES, which features a compact design and delivers high resolution, ease of use, flexibility and precision. The PQ9000 is a simultaneous ICP system that employs four key components: high-resolution optics, the V (vertical) Shuttle Torch, Dual View PLUS technology and a […]
At a time when large exhibitions seem to be declining in attendance and exhibitor participation, Analytica has clearly established itself as a “must-attend event” based on a proven formula for success. The trade fair took place May 10–13 in Munich, Germany. Held at an outstanding modern venue in the heart of Europe, well planned and […]
A wide variety of technologies on the market allow scientists to image cells and tissues in 3-D. However, common techniques such as wide-field or confocal microscopy are often challenged by a certain degree of inefficiencies, photobleaching and photodamage to living tissues and cells, particularly when examining cells over long periods. Light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), […]
Munich, Germany 2/28/14 — Attocube Systems, a provider of scanning probe microscopy systems and nanopositioning devices, has acquired a majority holding in Neaspec, a developer of scanning near field optical microscopes (SNOM). “Neaspec’s sophisticated products and their first-class technical know-how ideally complement our existing portfolio,” said attocube CEO Dr. Dirk Haft.
Atomic Spectroscopy SciAps revealed its handheld laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument, which is available in two models, the Z 500 and the Z 100. The system is comparable to handheld XRF for heavier elements, but LIBS can also detect lighter elements that are difficult or impossible for XRF to detect. The laser is an […]
For instrument and laboratory product companies, China has become the fastest growing market among major world economies. This is not surprising considering the country’s economic ascension and growing R&D spending. In 2013, analytical instrument sales (comprised of the product categories listed in the January 15 issue of IBO, including aftermarket products and service) to China […]
Company Announcements JEOL announced in October 2013 the integration of Gatan’s 3View Serial Block Face Imaging System, an automated sectioning and image capture system, with its JSM 7100F field emission–scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to enable imaging of 3D structures. In November 2013, Zeiss granted a license to patents relating to LED fluorescence excitation in microscopy […]
