Always keep the periodic table with you! 2019 is the International Year of the Periodic Table, and we’ve developed a new App, available through the Apple App Store. Included in this App is all related elemental data for these three major applications: Mass Spectrometry (MS) Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) Navigation: Scroll through […]

Agar Scientific has unveiled the latest addition to its range of microscopy stains, UA-Zero® EM Stain, a non-radioactive alternative to the traditional Uranyl Acetate. UA-Zero is a direct replacement for Uranyl Acetate, offering comparable results from the same standard processes, while simultaneously eliminating the safety and logistical issues associated with stains derived from uranium.   […]

Stellenbosch University have used both laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) and in situ microCT systems to study Ti6A14V microlattice structures. Funded by the South African Collaborative Program in Additive Manufacturing (CPAM), their work focused on the production and mechanical properties of the microlattice structures. They also looked at the in situ deformation of these structures, […]

HILLSBORO, Ore. — Scientists, engineers and researchers can now instantly view and analyze meaningful elemental content that is differentiated by color directly from a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The Thermo Scientific ColorSEM technology is the first commercial solution that includes integrated elemental analysis with unique color imaging. It produces live color images directly within the simplified SEM user […]

In 2017 Stellenbosch University, South Africa undertook an experimental campaign which focused on analysing venomous snake fangs. The motivation behind the campaign was to understand in detail the internal and external morphology and mechanical properties of snake fangs. The study focused on comparing the maximum Von Mises stress values when a load was applied to […]

The comprehensive offering from Thermo Fisher can improve outcomes in materials and life sciences research HILLSBORO, Ore. — Researchers and scientists analyzing crystallized protein samples in life sciences and materials research can now benefit from the first commercially released integrated solution for performing micro electron diffraction (MicroED), an advanced technique that enables researchers to quickly resolve […]
