ZEISS and the Janelia Research Campus Sign an Exclusive License Agreement
ZEISS and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus have signed an exclusive license agreement for the commercialization of Bessel beam plane illumination
microscopy, also called lattice light sheet microscopy. T e fl uorescence imaging method was invented by Dr. Eric Betzig at the Janelia Research Campus. Bessel beam plane illumination microscopy allows high-speed 3D fl uorescence imaging of living cellular and multicellular specimens with nearly isotropic spatial resolution, low photobleaching, and low photodamage.

attoDRY800 Cryo-Optical Table
Quantum optics experiments oſt en require cryogenic temperatures combined with optical access. Most experimental setups contain numerous optical elements to prepare the incident light, as well as to collect and convert the emitted light from the sample. T e available space on the
optical table is in such cases paramount. T e attoDRY800 provides a solution: it consists of an ultra-low vibration cold breadboard platform extensively integrated into an optical table, hence making use of the oſt en unused space underneath it.

Agar Scientifi c Installs New Scanning Electron Microscope
Agar Scientifi c installed a new scanning electron microscope at its Stansted headquarters. T e new SEM, TESCAN VEGA3 SBH, is already fully operational and is being used to vet Agar’s range of
gold-on-carbon and tin-on-carbon test specimens, which are vital for assessing SEM resolution. A full-time, in-house SEM operator performs thorough quality control checks to verify the particle size range present in the calibration standards manufactured by Agar, as well as checking for contaminants and physical defects.
