Asylum Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Investigation of Tribofilm Formation
Surface friction of mechanical systems is costly and a leading factor that reduces energy efficiency. AFM can be used to investigate these sliding interfaces at
the
nanoscale and how they alter the frictional characteristics of points of contact. A
new application note from Asylum Research examines how “tribofilms” form at these interfaces and how an AFM tip can be used as a tribometer.

The Art of Science
Olympus has announced the winners of the first Global Image of the Year Award. Te global winner is Ainara Pintor (Spain) for a stunning fluorescence super-resolution confocal image showing the immunostaining of Ty1-EGFP in a mouse brain slice with two fluorophores. Te green is the excitatory hippocampal neurons, which express Green Fluorescent Protein under Ty1 promoter.

Springer Handbook of Microscopy by Peter Hawkes and John Spence
Te new Handbook of Microscopy comprehen- sively covers the fundamentals, instrumentation, and applications of modern microscopy tech- niques. Written for a broad audience, separate chapters are devoted to confocal, fluorescence, and related optical microscopies; coherent dif- fractive imaging; scanning probe microscopy;
transmission electron microscopy in all its modes from aber- ration corrected and analytical to in-situ and time-resolved; low-energy electron microscopy; photoelectron microscopy; cryo-electron microscopy in biology; and ion microscopy.

Real-Time Protein Dynamics with Live-Cell Immunocytochemistry
Immunocytochemistry allows researchers to obtain information about protein presence, location, and activity—information instrumental to our capacity to identify cellular phenotypes and understand mechanisms that govern cell behavior. Live-cell analysis is used extensively to study cellular behavior but has not been a popular option for studying protein expression dynamics.
Technological advancements and modified ICC protocols now add a temporal dimension to ICC-obtained data. See below to download an original book from Sartorius and Te Scientist.

TriFoil Imaging Partners with Johns Hopkins University to Advance Pre-Clinical Optical Imaging Applications
TriFoil Imaging announced a partner- ship with the Division of Cancer Imaging Research at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) under the direction of Dr. Zaver Bhujwalla. JHU researchers will use 360°
3D fluorescence imaging capability in the InSyTe FLECT/CT system to develop sophisticated pre-clinical models for cancer research and treatment. Optical modalities deep inside the live mouse will be used to investigate disease mechanisms and treatments for many cancers.
