Calibrated Glass and Oil Standards for Glass Refractive Index Measurements
CRAIC Technologies announced the introduction of its Glass Refractive Standards set, used to calibrate instruments that are designed to measure the refractive index of microscopic fragments of glass and glass-like materials. T e Refractive Index Glass Standards set consists of both calibrated glass samples and immersion liquids calibrated for refractive index versus temperature. T ese standard reference materials are designed to be in compliance with the standard test
methodology defi ned by ASTM 1967.

p E-230fura
In collaboration with the University of Strathclyde, CoolLED is launching the p E-340 fura , a LED illuminator for Fura-2 imaging that also supports everyday fl uorescence microscopy in a compact and aff ordable package. T e 340 nm and 380 nm LED illumination system provides excitation wavelengths for Fura-2-based
calcium imaging allowing high-precision, stable, high-throughput imaging with video-rate time resolution. T e inherent stability of the LED illumination reduces the noise level of the light source to a range below that of the wider experiment.

Introducing the IXplore Series: Solutions-Based Microscopy
T e IXplore solutions are inverted microscope packages tailored for specifi c research applications. Based on the fl exible design of IX3 series microscopes, these confi gurations take the guesswork out of experiment setup while also providing signifi cant savings. T ere are fi ve components in the IXplore Series, including manual microscope confi gurations, motorized microscopy, and advanced microscope modalities such as live cell and spinning disk imaging down to 120 nm. See our webpage for more details.

EM-Tec Versa Plate Adaptable Sample Holders
This sample holder consists of a flat base plate with sizes that range from 82 mm 2 to 150 mm 2 . A set of movable sample holding brackets can be positioned to perfectly suit the size and shape of the sample. Each bracket can be rotated fully 360° and is fastened on the base plate by a screw. The brackets include an M3 stainless thumb screw to secure the sample. The multiple bracket position capability makes this one of the most versatile SEM sample holders.

3D Stereo Camera System
IC 3D is an end-user software for the capture of 3D data produced by The Imaging Source’s stereo camera system. This stereo camera system can be used with a variety of cameras from The Imaging Source
and can be easily adjusted to new working distances and depths of field through the modification of camera distances and angles. The IC 3D software offers a convenient user interface for system calibration and the capture and visualization of 3D data.

JPK Reports the Research at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry Using the NanoWizard® ULTRA Speed AFM
Dr. Henri Franquelim, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, has applied AFM to study the remodeling aspects (controlling lateral segregation, bending, etc.) of biological lipid membranes. In recent collaboration work with partners from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Dr. Franquelim further used the fast-scanning JPK NanoWizard
AFM to image with seconds/frame rates how photo-switchable ceramides upon photo-activation can reversibly modulate the structure of lipid raſt -mimicking domains.

Poking into Liquid Surface and Live Cells using AFM
NaugaNeedles off ers high-aspect-ratio crystalline Ag2Ga NeedleProbes with cylindrical shape ending in a semi-hemisphere. Due to the geometry and atomically fl at surfaces of these nanoneedles, they can be used for force-distance (F-D) AFM measurements of wetting and drag forces. Using the NeedleProbes, a simple F-D measurement can quantitatively measure surface tension, contact angle, meniscus height, and viscosity of the liquid of interest.
