In 1999, UCLA professor John Miao pioneered a technique called coherent diffractive imaging, or CDI, which allows scientists to re-create the 3D structure of noncrystalline samples or nanocrystals. The achievement was extremely significant because although X-ray crystallography had long allowed scientists to determine the atomic structure of a wide variety of molecules, including DNA, it does not work for noncrystalline materials used in a variety of disciplines, including physics, chemistry, materials science, nanoscience, geology and biology.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Asia-Pacific Optical Microscopy Market by Type, by Application, and by Country - Analysis and Forecast to 2019" report to their offering.
NanoMRI is a scanning technique that produces nondestructive, high-resolution 3-D images of nanoscale objects, and it promises to become a powerful tool for researchers and companies exploring the shape and function of biological materials such as viruses and cells in much the same way as clinical MRI today enables investigation of whole tissues in the human body.
Cells are biological wonders. Throughout billions of years of existence on Earth, these tiny units of life have evolved to collaborate at the smallest levels in promoting, preserving and protecting the organism they comprise. Among these functions is the transport of lipids and other biomacromolecules between cells via membrane adhesion and fusion -- processes that occur in many biological functions, including waste transport, egg fertilization and digestion.
DELMIC develops and manufactures products which are focused on high performance, user friendly, integrated microscopy solutions. Working together with Phenom World, the companies have developed the Delphi microscope, the all-in-one solution for Correlative Light and scanning Electron Microscopy.
Most people see defects as flaws. A few Michigan Technological University researchers, however, see them as opportunities. Twin boundaries — which are small, symmetrical defects in materials — may present an opportunity to improve lithium-ion batteries. The twin boundary defects act as energy highways and could help get better performance out of the batteries.
These are the questions that intrigue Edward Boyden, an associate professor of biological engineering and brain and cognitive sciences at MIT.
According to a new market research report "European Microscopy Market by Product (Optical (Fluorescence, Super-Resolution), Confocal, Electron (Transmission), Scanning (AFM)), Application (Semiconductor, Life Science, Nanotechnology), End User (Academic Institute, Industries) - Forecast to 2020", published by MarketsandMarkets, the European Microscopy Market is poised to reach $1,798.4 Million by 2020 from $1,284.9 Million in 2015, at a CAGR of 7.0 % from 2015 to 2020.
Researchers at ETH Zurich's Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering in Basel have developed a new microscopy technique that enables for the first time to selectively visualize individual cells within the complex, three-dimensional tissue of a living organism. The researchers have thus succeeded in capturing spectacular microscopic images, such as in the nervous system of a zebrafish larva, a preferred model organism for research. Motor neurons in the spinal cord can be seen in the researchers' images; at the same time, a single neuron with all its extensions is highlighted in another colour.
Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have discovered a new cathodoluminescence activated imaging by resonant energy transfer (CLAIRE) technique that extends high electron microscopy resolution to the dynamic imaging of soft matter.
