Sartorius Provides A Guide to Real-Time Live-Cell Imaging and Analysis eBook
Real-time live-cell imaging and analysis is redefining cell biology. Researchers apply the technique to a wide range of phenotypic cellular assays, including cell proliferation, cell death and apoptosis, immune cell killing, migration, chemotaxis, angiogenesis, neurite outgrowth, and phagocytosis. In each case, the full time-course data and videos from the assays provide greater biological insight than end point assays. To download the ebook, visit the website below.

JEOL Acquires Integrated Dynamic Electron Solutions (IDES)
JEOL Ltd. has acquired Integrated Dynamic Electron Solutions, Inc. (IDES). IDES's technology will upgrade JEOL TEM systems to “ultrafast time-resolved TEMs” capable of capturing still and dynamic images in nano- to femto-seconds and recording them with nanometer-scale spatial resolution. These innovative systems can be used to explore dynamic and quantum phenomena beyond the reach of conventional TEM and in the future can also be upgraded for life sciences applications such as studies of protein movement.

Asylum Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Investigation of Tribofilm Formation
Surface friction of mechanical systems is costly and a leading factor that reduces energy efficiency. AFM can be used to investigate these sliding interfaces at the nanoscale and how they alter the frictional characteristics of points of contact. A new application note from Asylum Research examines how “tribofilms” form at these interfaces and how an AFM tip can be used as a tribometer.

Real-Time Protein Dynamics with Live-Cell Immunocytochemistry
Immunocytochemistry allows researchers to obtain information about protein presence, location, and activity—information instrumental to our capacity to identify cellular phenotypes and understand mechanisms that govern cell behavior. Live-cell analysis is used extensively to study cellular behavior but has not been a popular option for studying protein expression dynamics. Technological advancements and modified ICC protocols now add a temporal dimension to ICC-obtained data. See below to download an original book from Sartorius and The Scientist.
