AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

The new black wall FluoroDish Cell Culture Dishes from WPI reduce reflections by providing a barrier for the ambient light, giving you clearer fluorescent images.

They are an excellent option for fluorescence live cell imaging by reducing the ambient light.

As with other FluoroDish in the range from WPI, the optical quality glass bottom is as thin as the coverslip to ensure the least amount of distortions, and excellent UV transmission. Each pack is individually packaged and gamma sterilised.

Join us and our special guest speaker Dr. George Heath, University of Leeds, UK, for this virtual workshop on high-speed atomic force microscopy (AFM). The webinar will focus on the fundamental principles of the technique, relevant applications, and its integration with advanced optical microscopy.
 

Dr. Heath will speak about his work using the NanoRacer high-speed atomic force microscope to study protein dynamics and will present methods that can increase the temporal and spatial resolution of AFM to the 10 microsecond and sub-nm level. The webinar will provide an overview of the latest developments in high-speed AFM and will include a demonstration on the NanoWizard ULTRA Speed 3 BioAFM, live from our laboratories in Berlin, Germany.

Introducing the new CellX purpose-built, turnkey laser engine for microscopy from Coherent.

Originally designed for flow cytometry, the extended CellX platform now supports three applications: flow cytometry, free-space applications, and introducing a fiber delivery system engineered for microscopy. 

CellX for microscopy has been designed to offer a common 0.7 mm beam diameter across all four wavelengths (405 nm, 488 nm, 561nm, and 640 nm), addressing a fundamental challenge in microscopy where different laser colors naturally focus at varying degrees. Integrating beam steering and telescope adjustments in CellX allows meticulous control over divergence. 

The innovative design of CellX extends to its fiber launch, providing a 4-laser array (each laser at 100 mW) into a fiber with the adjustments to optimize and maintain power transmission to the application. 

In fields like neuroscience, where precise, high-resolution imaging is paramount, optimizing and maintaining power transmission through a fiber is invaluable. CellX with fiber ensures that the power and clarity of laser light are not diminished in transmission, allowing scientists to illuminate and observe neural structures with unprecedented detail and clarity.

Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a leader in lasers and thermoelectrics for life sciences and scientific research, today announced the introduction of the OBIS 640 XT, a diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser module with up to 1000 mW output at 640 nm for super-resolution microscopy (SRM).

Innovation in visible and ultraviolet lasers is enabling breakthroughs in SRM that can resolve macromolecular structures and provide crucial new insights into cell biology. Coherent introduced the OBIS 640 XT, a red laser module that matches the high output power, low noise, beam quality, and compact size of its existing portfolio of blue and green laser modules, which as a complete set enable high-performance SRM systems.

The portfolio of laser modules for life sciences includes the Sapphire and OBIS LS/LX/XT product lines, covering a wide range of output power and wavelengths from near-infrared to ultraviolet.
