Oxford Instruments Asylum Research Releases New Application Note
Oxford Instruments Asylum Research has released a new application note, “AFM Applications in Polymer Science and Engineering,” by Dr. Donna Hurley. Polymer scientists were among the fi rst group to enthusiastically embrace AFM when it was introduced 25 years ago. T is application note reviews how recent advances in next-generation AFMs from Asylum Research, including the MFP-3D Infi nity
enabled scientists to learn even more about polymeric materials. ™ and the Cypher

PicoQuant Releases Version 2.0 of the SymPhoTime 64 Software
PicoQuant has released version 2.0 of the SymPhoTime 64 soſt ware package for FLIM, FCS, and single-molecule fl uorescence measurements. New features include global analysis of FCS and time-correlated single photon-counting (TCSPC) curve fi tting, which especially improves cell measurements. An extended TCSPC binning functionality permits faster analysis and binary export of FLIM images. T e SymPhoTime 64 comes with all MicroTime and LSM Upgrade Kit systems using PicoQuant’s photon-counting modules.

Andor Zyla sCMOS Camera Enables Instantaneous Imaging of Neuronal Activity Across Whole Organism
T e speed, resolution, and sensitivity of the Andor Zyla sCMOS camera has allowed the Vaziri research group in Vienna, Austria, to simultaneously image neuronal activity across an entire organism for the fi rst time. T is profound advance follows closely
on their innovative widefi eld temporal focusing (WF-TeFo) two-photon approach to high-speed imaging of whole brains, which was also enabled by an Andor camera, the Neo sCMOS.
