New Multi-Technique Surface Analysis System Delivers High Sample Throughput
T e Nexsa system combines the high throughput and high sensitivity of the T ermo Scientifi c K-Alpha + XPS system with the multi-technique capabilities of the T ermo Scientifi c ESCALAB Xi + XPS microprobe. Users of the Nexsa system can add complementary techniques, such as Raman spectroscopy, ion scattering spectroscopy, refl ected electron
energy loss spectroscopy, and UV photoelectron spectroscopy, to generate multiple measurements from the same point on the sample, without repositioning.

New MFP-3D Infi nity AFM Photovoltaic Option Together, the MFP-3D Infi ™ AFM. nity and PV
Option enable high-resolution imaging and advanced electrical characterization with techniques such as conductive AFM
(CAFM), electrostatic force microscopy (EFM), and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). T ese modes are critical for investigating photocurrent and related photoresponse, including eff ects caused by heterogeneous interfaces, grain boundaries, and/or phase-separated domains.

Cost-Effective Basler Lenses
In addition to the Basler Original Equipment lenses with a resolution of 5 megapixels for sensors smaller than 1/2, Basler now also offers lenses for
sensors up to 2/3. The Basler Lenses 2/3 are suitable for sensors with a resolution of up to 2 megapixels and an excellent choice for applications where low resolutions are sufficient. The lenses are available in six different focal lengths (8, 12, 15, 25, 35, 50 mm) and can be used in the visible wavelength range of 400–700 nm.

Excelitas Technologies Introduces X-Cite® FIRE for Fluorescence Microscopy
Excelitas Technologies® introduced the X-Cite® FIRE light source
for fluorescence microscopy. The X-Cite FIRE offers output from 360–750 nm. Across the spectrum, X-Cite FIRE has improved LED coverage, providing a closer match to mercury arc lamp output. With a 365 nm spectral peak, X-Cite
FIRE is matched perfectly with the narrow DAPI filter sets that are standard in research microscopes. At the opposite end of the spectrum, X-Cite FIRE provides 735 nm excitation for Cy7.

New BLAZE™ Spectroscopy Cameras Offer New Levels of Performance
Princeton Instruments introduced ultra-high- performance BLAZE cameras for spectroscopy. Featuring new sensors, BLAZE cameras provide the highest NIR quantum effi ciency (QE), fastest spectral rates, and deepest thermoelectric cooling capabilities available. Applications for these next-generation CCD cameras include Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence, nanoparticle research, carbon nanotube studies, pump-probe experiments, fl uores- cence, and micro-spectroscopy. New BLAZE LD-Sensors are exclusive, deep-depletion devices designed for high sensitivity and extremely low dark current, making them ideal for low-light applications.

are to be used as an excitation source for fl uorescence and photoluminescence microspectroscopy. Both methods require intense light sources, and by exciting in the ultraviolet, more materials can be caused to emit photons via a luminescent process. T e UV laser output is focused onto a microscopic sample area, and the light that is emitted from that area is collected and
