SPCImage NG TCSPC-FLIM data analysis software


V-610 rotation stage


PI has expanded its PIMag series of high dynamics linear and rotary positioning systems with a new high-performance rotation stage. The V-610 is equipped with a high-force


3-phase torque motor direct incremental encoder for position feedback and closed- loop operation. Direct drive torque motors do not require gears and mechanical components, eliminating friction in the drive train. Despite its compact size, the ironless motor provides a peak torque of 1.2Nm (10.6 in-lbf). Ironless motors provide smoother running with better velocity control, due to the lack of cogging effects caused by permanent magnets. The torque motor provides maximum angular velocity of 540°/sec (90 RPM). The integrated direct measuring optical encoder resolves angular motion down to 9µrad. In closed-loop operation, minimal incremental motion of 27µrad can be achieved. To hold a position without the need to keep the motor energised, an electromagnetic safety brake is offered as an option. The V-610 features a very low profile of


only 28mm (1.1 inch), allowing integration into tight spaces. The clear aperture of 25mm (1 inch) is an advantage in transmissive-light applications. www.pi-usa.us/en


SPCImage NG is a new generation of Becker and Hickl’s time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC)-fluorescence lifetime (FLIM) data analysis software. It combines time- domain and frequency-domain analysis, uses a maximum- likelihood algorithm to calculate the parameters of the decay functions in the individual pixels, and accelerates the analysis procedure by GPU processing.


1D and 2D parameter histograms are


available to display the distribution of the decay parameters over the pixels of the image, or over selectable ROIs. Image segmentation can be performed via the phasor plot, and pixels with similar phasor signature be combined for


4D_Additive Manufacturing software suite


CoreTechnologie (CT) has developed the 4D_Additive Manufacturing software suite. With the new texture module, developers and industrial designers can use more than 5,000 surface structures. The combination of the software with precise B-Rep kernel and the high-resolution HP jet-fusion process allows the additive production of very fine, completely new surfaces, which will find application for individualised decorative trim in vehicles and plastic design products. Flexible customisation and new component designs are an important innovation advantage in a highly competitive buyer market. For users, 4D_Additive makes it easy to define textures on the CAD model, simply choosing the desired B-Rep areas and a matching texture from the database. Thereafter, the fineness and position of the

high-accuracy time-domain analysis. SPCImage NG provides decay models with one, two, or three exponential components, incomplete- decay models, and shifted-component models. Another important feature is advanced IRF modelling, making it unnecessary to record IRFs for time-domain analysis. www.becker-hickl.com


structure can be visually adjusted on the component. A rendered, almost photorealistic representation of the model accelerates the work and allows an immediate assessment of the print result. The software ensures distortion-free projection of the grain over surface boundaries. The graphical representation allows the assessment of the designed geometry, and fuels the creative process in the design of new parts. www.coretechnologie.com
