more25.10.2010As a core component to almost all clinical and research work, microscopy has a continuing and growing role within modern science and medicine. For example, even with the increasing prevalence of molecular tests, the microscopic view provides the unique opportunity to observe the physiology of a disease, or process. As a result, the quality of the diagnosis, or the progression of a research project, is reliant upon the resolution and clarity of the images produced by the microscope and its related imaging components.
more26.07.2010Fluorescence microscopy is among the most widely used imaging methods in biology. However, conventional light microscopy cannot resolve many structures inside cells because its horizontal resolution is limited to approximately 200 nm. 3D STORM is a recently developed super-resolution technique that can achieve 20-30 nm lateral resolution and 50-60 nm axial resolution, enabling elucidation of previously unresolvable sub-cellular structure.
more23.07.2010Surface metrology is quickly emerging as a critical analytical technique to determine the topology of various materials. It can be used to identify corrosion, surface characterization, or to control the quality of different surfaces. Conventional methods such as profilometry, have involved the use of a stylus being dragged along the sample surface. However, this technique can be problematic; it cannot be used on certain materials, such as adhesives, and the dragging process itself may result in inaccurate data being obtained.
