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 […]

Leica Microsystems has now released version 8.2.1 of the LMS software for Laser Microdissection microscopes. Laser Microdissection is used to dissect regions of interest (ROI) from microscopic specimens, e.g. tumor tissue, with the help of a laser. These “dissectates” can be analyzed more completely, either by molecular biology methods or microscopy techniques, for a more […]

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, […]
