If medication and laser techniques have no prospect of success in the treatment of glaucoma, surgery is essential to stop further damage to the optic nerve. A new surgical method is showing promising results for reducing the potential complications of an operation. Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. Franz Grehn, former Director of Würzburg University Eye Hospital,... Read more
March 27, 2014 (Peabody, MA) — JEOL and Nikon have integrated optical microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy in a way that enables seamless observation of the same region of interest on a sample with fast, accurate navigation. The technique, MiXcroscopy, employs the same specimen holder for both the optical microscope (OM) and the... Read more
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is a prominent approach of super-resolution optical microscopy, which allows cellular imaging with so far unprecedented unlimited spatial resolution. The introduction of time-gated detection in STED microscopy significantly reduces the (instantaneous) intensity required to obtain sub-diffraction spatial resolution. Read more
March 6, Peabody, Mass. — JEOL USA has launched an imaging contest to showcase some of the best work of users of its electron microscopes. A winning image will be selected for each month of 2014, judged by JEOL’s SEM and TEM applications teams for their technical and artistic qualities. “Many customers have asked us... Read more

The Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC) is a large complex in the nuclear membrane, representing the gate to the eukaryotic genetic makeup. Because of this outstanding function the structure of the NPC is of great interest. Anna Szymborska, scientist at the EMBL in Heidelberg, comments on her resaerch results and the potential of Ground State Depletion... Read more
Since its introduction in the 1600s, improvements in microscope technology have continually broadened the types of cells and cellular processes that can be studied. Advances in automation have made this already-simple tool faster and more capable, and time-lapse imaging reveals function and dynamics in addition to structure. Live-cell imaging has enabled us to witness incredible... Read more
