ChromoFlex, a Liquid Light Guided Multiphoton Detection System, for up to Four GaAsP Photomultiplier Tubes Scientifi ca introduced a new multiphoton detection system, ChromoFlex. It enables simultaneous imaging of up to four diff erent color dyes with increased sensitivity of GaAsP photomultiplier tubes. T e larger collection optics enables greater light-gathering from the objective back aperture. When coupled with the new liquid light guide, overall effi ciency is increased by up to 10% compared to the original Scientifi ca multiphoton detection unit.

BioSolveIT and Optibrium Sign Collaboration Agreement Optibrium
collaborate to create seamlessly integrated data analysis, visualization, and simulation software for drug research. The two companies are known for their prediction tools for selection and optimization of potential therapeutics, where it is essential to recognize and resolve potential problems as early as possible. Computer software for “virtual design” of drug candidate molecules prior to synthesis and testing is ubiquitous in medicinal chemistry and an important time-saver in research.

UCLA Combines Raman Microscopy with Scanning Electron Microscopy to Study Archaeological Textiles and Fibers
A paper “New Advancements in SERS Dye Detection Using Interfaced SEM and Raman Spectromicroscopy (µRS)” was published in the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy . It describes how a SEM may be interfaced with µRS to provide a means of non-destructively identi- fying organic compounds in complex samples, such as single fi bers, by extraction-less analysis. T is enables the characterization of dyes from reference collections and archaeological textiles.

Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium
At fi rst glance, cement, cancer cells, interstellar dust, two- dimensional materials, billion-year-old microfossils, emulsions, and the Kramers-Heisenberg-Dirac formula appear to have little if anything in common. Yet they were all among the topics discussed by some 50 biologists, physicists, pharmaceutical researchers, and chemists within the context of Raman imaging. WITec, the German manufacturer of Raman imaging systems, had invited scientists from all over the world to an interdisci- plinary symposium in Ulm, Germany, at the end of September.
