New JEOL E-Beam Lithography System to Enhance Quantum NanoFab Capabilities
A state-of-the-art JEOL e-beam lithography system will soon be a new resource for quantum information science researchers that use the cutting-edge facilities at the University of Waterloo Quantum NanoFab in Waterloo, Ontario. T e JEOL JBX-6300FS e-beam system will be used to write circuitry patterns at very high resolution and line widths as small as 8 nm. With accelerating voltage capability to
100 kV, high-resolution patterns can be written on substrates coated in thick resist.

LaVision BioTec Reports on the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research Efforts to Understand the Behaviour of Cells in Cancer Metastasis
LaVision BioTec TriM Scope allows one to investigate cellular and molecular interactions in 3D environments in real mouse tumors. T e TriM Scope is particularly important because it is optimized for deep tissue imaging and for fl uorescence lifetime imaging, here used to image FRET reporters, which tell us about the activation state of pathways critical to the regulation of cell migration.
