Olympus IX81®-ZDC2 Zero Drift Inverted Microscope System
Olympus introduced the new IX81®-ZDC2 Zero Driſt microscope system, a motorized inverted microscope with a comprehensive, integrated autofocus solution for investigators doing time-lapse experiments. Te system’s next-generation autofocus system operates
continuously so that it maintains focus even when events happen very quickly. In addition, the system easily can be set to operate in a discrete, one-shot mode designed to facilitate applications that require maintaining multiple focus positions, such as experiments involving multi-well imaging.

CRAIC Technologies Introduces the Universal C-mount Adapter for Microscope Cameras and Spectrophotometers
CRAIC Technologies introduces its Universal C-mount Adapter for Microscope Cameras and Spectrophotometers, which allows a camera or a spectrophotometer to be parfocal and parcen- tral with the eyepieces on the microscope. It can be mounted on the open photoports of many microscope brands. Featuring X, Y, and Z adjust- ment and a range of photoport flanges, the adapter makes using cameras and spectrophotom-
eters attached to microscopes much easier to use.

TDIS^TM Micro-Rheometer Imaging Stage
Harrick Scientific Products’ TDIS^TM (Tissue Deformation Imaging Stage) is a micro-rheometer designed for upward-looking confocal and fluores- cence microscopes. Te TDIS^TM is capable of measuring the shear and compression properties of soſt biological samples such as cartilage, sclera, and corneal tissue with simultaneous imaging.
Fine spatial variations in the mechanical properties of these materials can be measured. Samples up to 1 cm on a side can be accommodated. Te TDIS^TM is compatible with equipment manufactured by Leica, Nikon, and other manufacturers.

New ReVe -l Diamond Abrasive Grinding Discs Reduce Polishing Time
Buehler’s ReVēl (“reveal”) diamond abrasive grinding/polishing discs for tool steels, tungsten carbide, and inconel prepares specimens from planar grind to final polish in four to seven minutes, reducing total polishing time by 63 to 78 percent, cleaning/changeover time by 25 percent, the
number of steps by 25 percent, and the number of consumables by 33 percent. ReVēl’s diamond abrasive nanotechnology features diamond particles for high removal rates coated with smaller colloidal silica particles for polishing.
