Optical Height Measurement In The Nanometer Range
Carl Zeiss has developed a quick, simple and economic solution for the precise measurement of surface topography, roughness and layer thickness such as in the fields of films and coatings.
Zeiss Makes Fret Quick, Easy And Accurate
The last few years has witnessed a rapid increase in the use of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy in cell and developmental biology laboratories to provide spatial information.
In fact, the amount of information and the level of image quality reach the point previously only possible with traditional light microscopes.
These qualities will be especially beneficial in cellular, molecular and developmental biology for the visualisation of fluorescence-labelled, microstructured substrates in examinations of cell adhesion and cell interaction.
They will also be valuable allies in the screening of FP-formation in transfected living creatures, such as C.
elegans and Drosophila, for example.
Together with the new NeoLumar S objectives, SteREO permits quick and easy detection of human cell material and tiny amounts of secretion residue in forensic material, which can then be used for DNA analyses.
The new stand has been designed specially to ensure optimum precision and stability.
It also allows continuous focusing from 350nm to 340mm and is combined with a 12x zoom facility.
Ample space for large samples is provided by the scratch-resistant stage plate, which measures 250mm x 410mm.
Control of every microscope function is integrated into SyCoP - an entirely new System Control Panel integrated into a mouse-like controller.
SyCoP provides data on object field, resolution and depth of field for the first time ever in stereomicroscopy.
The intuitive SyCoP interface allows users to control every aspect of the microscope without needing to take their eyes away from the microscope image.
The activation of complex instrument settings at the press of a button saves time and provides additional security.
The SteREO Lumar.V12 also offers automatic fluorescence filter recognition (AFR), individually adjustable zoom optics for the excitation beam path (HiLite), new LED illumination and contrast systems, and a light and focus speed manager.
Together with AxioVision 4.3 software, the SteREO Lumar.V12 is a fully-fledged fluorescence imaging system with integrated microscope control, image recording, processing, analysis, administration and archiving.
