We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Microscopes",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Atomic force 'scopes support nanotech curriculum from
Agilent Technologies Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "The University of Northern Iowa has purchased an Agilent 5500 atomic force microscope (AFM) for electrical characterisation and materials science studies, the 4th acquired by
the university in a year".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release CCD Microscope aids inspection of gemstones from
Moritex Europe: "Moritex reports that its MSX-500Di digital CCD microscope has enabled luxury jewellery specialists Wharton to inspect, measure and electronically document precious gemstones handled by the company".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Biopharma Technology
concerning its Lyostat2 optical imaging station
- take a look at Imaging station for freeze-drying microscope
which says: "Lyostat2 has been designed to be compatible with most models of microscope from Olympus, Nikon, Leica and Zeiss, making it a more cost-effective and flexible option".
Take a look also at the news release from FEI, Developing tools for single-atom imaging,
as well as Spill protection for microscopes and lab equipment from KD Scientific,
and Vibration isolation to stabilise Yale microscopes from Minus K Technology.
