EDAX Granted Patent for Neighbor Pattern Averaging and Reindexing (NPAR) Routine
EDAX received a U.S. patent for the technology that underlies its NPAR
the indexing quality of individual pixels in an EBSD map by averaging the diff raction patterns from a kernel of pixels around the pixel of interest. T e method is most benefi cial for those samples that previously provided low-quality diff raction patterns.

Fluorescent Tags and Nanoparticles Compared as Imaging Tools
Prior Scientific’s H117 motorized precision stage was used in a study comparing the characteristics of traditional fluorescent probes with SERS NPs, where the two methods were used to fluorescently image both live and fixed cells. A home-build Raman microscopy system, incorporating an H117 stage, was a key part of this system. Especially important was that the H117’s large travel range (114 × 75 mm), which ensured that a large field of view was easy to image.
