Linkam's Optical DSC450
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a technique used to measure the temperature and heat flow associated with thermal transitions in materials. The optical DSC450 system has been optimized to measure the transition temperatures and enthalpy changes in samples. The design allows mounting of the stage on a microscope, which enables image and time lapse recording of sample transitions at high resolution. Color-coded imaging or morphological changes can be correlated with temperature and phase transitions.

Rave Scientific's IBSS In Situ Plasma Cleaner
Have you ever de-magnified when imaging in a scanning electron microscope and noticed dark scanlines on your sample? This is hydrocarbon contamination, which can impede the optimum performance of an SEM. Hydrocarbons are generally introduced into the SEM chamber by outgassing samples or by poor specimen handling. As important as it is to change the oil in a car for optimum engine performance, it is just as important to regularly in situ plasma clean an SEM chamber.

Abberior Instruments Launches the MINFLUX Light Microscope
MINFLUX (minimal photon fluxes) is a cutting-edge method for localizing fluorescent molecules in space with unprecedented precision. MINFLUX probes the location of emitters with an excitation intensity minimum and therefore reduces the number of fluorescent photons required for high-precision localization by a factor of up to 20. For a given number of photons, the precision is improved, and, therefore, localizations below 2 nm are obtained for the first time in a light microscope.
