New Light Beamed on Life
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 11, 2009 -- Using "hotspots" of bright white light generated when silver nanoparticles are hit with infrared laser light, a new microscopy method reveals the internal structure of nearly opaque biological materials like bone or man-made materials such as aircraft fuselage. A silver nanoparticle mirror next to a penny for scale. University of Utah physicists and chemists developed a new microscope method for looking at the internal structure of certain biological materials using “hotspots” of bright white...
Boldly going where no one has gone before
Dec 1, 2008 — The Phoenix Mars Lander has scoured the surface of the red planet’s Arctic circle for signs of life. On July 9, the robot took the first atomic force microscope (AFM) image ever recorded on another planet. The Lander as it would look on Mars....
Atomic Changes Seen in 4-D
PASADENA, Calif., Nov. 20, 2008 -- A new technique dubbed four-dimensional (4-D) electron microscopy allows the real-time, real-space visualization of fleeting changes in the structure and shape of atomic-scale matter for the first time. The new technique was developed in the...
Method Uses Blurry Images
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 3, 2008 -- A novel technique under development uses a relatively inexpensive optical microscope and a set of blurry images to quickly and cheaply analyze nanoscale dimensions with nanoscale measurement sensitivity. Termed "through-focus scanning optical...
Plutonium scare drives NIST overhaul
Nov 1, 2008 — GAITHERSBURG, Md. – According to a Sept. 1, 2008, report by Tim Kauffman of the Federal Times, a guest researcher was shot in the eye with an infrared laser while placing a slide on a microscope at the National Institute of Standards and Technology...
Seeing the light
Nov 1, 2008 — Scientists have long assumed that, because C. elegans lives in the soil and spends most of its life in the dark, the 1-mm eyeless roundworm has no light-detecting cells. But a research team from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, led by Shawn...
TEM Probes Between Atoms
HAMILTON, Ontario, Oct. 20, 2008 -- A powerful, $15 million transmission electron microscope (TEM) that has an atomic-level probing capability comparable to the galaxy peering power of the Hubble Space Telescope has been installed in the new Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy at...
New Optics Field Emerges
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 16, 2008 -- A new research field called transformation optics may usher in a host of radical advances including a cloak of invisibility and ultrapowerful microscopes and computers by harnessing nanotechnology and "metamaterials." The field, which applies...
On-chip Microscope Developed
PASADENA, Calif., July 29, 2008 -- Computer chip technology has been combined with microfluidics to create a tiny lenseless microscope small enough to fit on a fingertip and with magnifying power that rivals top optical microscopes. The high-resolution optofluidic microscope can use...
Subsurfaces Seen Sharply
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, July 21, 2008 -- The high penetration power of x-rays has been combined with diffraction imaging to create a novel x-ray microscope that makes it possible, for the first time, to view the detailed interiors of semiconductor devices and cellular structures. The...
Solder Bumping Improves Lens
JENA, Germany, May 7, 2008 -- A solder technique used in electronics manufacturing is proving useful in keeping optical device lenses clear and in place when they are used inside a vacuum. When cameras and microscopes are placed in a vacuum, their lenses and prisms, usually...
Neurons Imaged Fast in 3-D
HOUSTON, April 28, 2008 -- A technique that combines a laser beam with a multiphoton microscope allows scientists to quickly observe the function of neurons, or nerve cells, in three dimensions, providing a much better view of their fast activity. Scientists at Baylor...
WITec Breaks Ground for New HQ
Apr 25, 2008 — Microscope manufacturer WITec GmbH broke ground earlier this month for new headquarters in Ulm, Germany, to include research, production and office facilities. WITec said the new building, located in a science park next to the University of Ulm, ...
Laser Study Shines at CLEO
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 23, 2008 -- Detecting dangerous chemicals with lasers, exploring the brain’s circuitry with light, and photoluminescence with nanoneedles will be among the latest breakthroughs in electro-optics, lasers and the application of light waves presented at the...

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 23, 2008 -- Detecting dangerous chemicals with lasers, exploring the brain’s circuitry with light, and photoluminescence with nanoneedles will be among the latest breakthroughs in electro-optics, lasers and the application of light waves presented at the...
Carl Zeiss SMT to Open NA HQ
Apr 22, 2008 — Carl Zeiss SMT AG, a maker of scanning and transmission electron beam systems for nanotechnology, life sciences, material analysis and semiconductor applications, said it will mark the official opening of its new North American headquarters tomorrow...
Technology Innovators Vie for 'European Inventor of the Year' Awards
Apr 14, 2008 — The inventor of the stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscope and the creators of a new ophthalmoscope laser scanning technology are among 12 finalists completing for Europe's top innovation prize, Inventor of the Year 2008. The prize...
FEI Titan Awarded at Nano Tech 2008
Mar 25, 2008 — FEI Co. of Hillsboro, Ore., announced that its Titan 80-300 S/TEM (scanning/transmission electron microscope) received the award for technical excellence in evaluation and measurement at Nano Tech 2008, a nanotechnology conference held last month in...
UTSA Receives $822K to Purchase Electron Microscopes
Mar 13, 2008 — The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) announced it has received $822,000 from the Robert J. Kleberg Jr. and Helen C. Kleberg Foundation to purchase three high-powered electron microscopes. The scanning, tunneling, and atomic force...
Virus Imaged in Great Detail
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., March 6, 2008 -- Single-particle electron cryomicroscopy, also known as cryo-EM, has been used to capture a 3-D image of a virus with near atomic-level resolution, the highest level of detail achieved for a living organism of that size. A team led by Wen Jiang,...
Lensless Camera Uses X-rays
ARGONNE, Ill., Feb. 21, 2008 -- A lensless camera uses x-rays to take high-resolution images of ultrasmall structures buried inside nanoparticles, nanomaterials, and biological specimens. Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory, in collaboration with those from the...
