Linkam's CMS196V3 Stage Enables Cryo-Correlative Fluorescence and Electron Microscopy
Electron microscopy (EM) gives restricted insight into biological and chemical processes due to its limitations in staining and sample preparation processes. Fluorescence microscopy is a sensitive method used to detect biological, chemical, and genetic processes and events inside living cells. Cryo-CLEM (Correlative cryo super-resolution light and electron microscopy) brings it all together, combining the individual advantages from both fluorescence microscopy and EM by imaging the same sample location with both techniques and superimposing the complementing information.

Nikon introduces Clarify.ai for NIS-Elements
NIS-Elements Clarify.ai is a new microscopy tool in Nikon's growing suite of artificial intelligence (AI). Clarify.ai uses new Nikon technologies executed on graphic processing units (GPUs) to leverage fast and efficient clarity in images normally corrupted by blur due to out-of-focus light. It leverages deep learning, a type of artificial intelligence. It is pre-trained to recognize fluorescence signal emitted from out-of-focus planes and to remove this haze component from the image, resulting in improved signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio.

Linkam THMS600 Stage Used by University of Glasgow to Study Laser-Induced Phase Separation
A team of scientists set out to understand how and why lasers trigger crystallization and how changes made to the properties of the laser could influence which crystal form would be generated. Researchers working with Prof. Klaas Wynne of The School of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow have used the Linkam THMS600 temperature-controlled stage to explore phase transitions in mixed liquid systems and laser-induced nucleation.

RPMC Fundamentals of Confocal Raman Microscopy
RPMC announces the release of the white paper “Fundamentals of Confocal Raman Microscopy.” RPMC focuses on the optical design of a confocal microscope and how that affects the performance of the system. It explains why the 532 nm single longitudinal mode (SLM) diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser from Oxxius, with excellent TEM00 beam quality, is an ideal source for integration into confocal Raman microscopes.

Thermo Fisher and Contract Research Organizations Expand Cryo-EM Access
Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced it is facilitating access to cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) for contract research organizations (CROs) around the globe that offer start-up packages for this breakthrough technology as a service. Three options are provided. The Starter Kit Package allows researchers to apply cryo-EM screening to determine whether their sample is suitable for cryo-EM exploration. The Exploration Package takes this examination a step further by allowing researchers to construct a 3D high-resolution molecular model of their sample. The Impact Package helps researchers gain formal cryo-EM training, applying the technology to multiple projects as they consider whether to build their own lab or continue with cryo-EM as a service.
