February 8, 2010, Peabody, Mass. — The installation of an advanced imaging tool, a JEOL Electron Probe Microanalyzer (EPMA), will expand research and educational opportunities for students, faculty, and industry in southeastern North Carolina. In January, JEOL completed the installation of its new generation of EPMA, also known as a microprobe, at the Southeastern North... Read more
January 21, 2010, Peabody, Mass. — JEOL’s award-winning AccuTOF-DART™ mass spectrometer, featuring the new iPod touch-enabled DART SVP ion source, offers a new set of performance features for accurate mass measurements in real time using advanced time-of-flight technology. JEOL introduced the Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART™) ion source in 2005 for its AccuTOF-LC mass... Read more
Microscopy is an essential tool for analysis of cellular structures and function. With the advent of new fluorescent probes and super-resolution light microscopy techniques, the study of dynamic processes in living cells has been greatly facilitated. Fluorescence light microscopy provides analytical, quantitative, and three-dimensional (3D) data with emphasis on analysis of live cells using fluorescent... Read more
December 16, 2009 (Peabody, Mass.) — The University of Texas El Paso has selected a JEOL cryo-electron microscope for its emerging structural biology program to be housed in a new building planned for completion in 2011 on the UTEP campus. The JEM-3200FS that was ordered from JEOL USA is a 300 keV cryo-TEM with an... Read more
October 21, 2009, Peabody, Mass. — JEOL, a global leader in the development and manufacture of scanning and transmission electron microscopes, introduces ClairScope™, a first-of-its kind correlative microscopy tool that combines a high-end Light Microscope (LM) with a high-resolution Atmospheric Scanning Electron Microscope (ASEM). The new JEOL ClairScope enables uncompromised observation of samples in their... Read more
June 30, 2009 (Peabody, Mass.) — JEOL, a leading supplier of electron microscopes for ultrahigh resolution imaging and analysis, will demonstrate its new ultrahigh resolution, analytical Thermal Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), the JSM-7600F, via live remote viewing and control from Semicon West, San Francisco, July 14-16. The SEM will be remotely operated from... Read more
The city of Morgantown, West Virginia, home to West Virginia University, is making national headlines as an “economic oasis.” It is one of the few U.S. locations to be successfully isolated from the current recession, offering diverse opportunities for employment and research plus a low cost of living. Isolation of another kind is occurring in... Read more
May 8, 2009, Peabody, Mass. — A new e-brochure from JEOL illustrates the application of an ion beam cross section polisher for SEM sample preparation of solar panel thin films and kerogen-rich shale samples. The online brochure includes SEM images as well as movie and 3D files of complex shale composites and EBSD orientation maps... Read more
April 28, 2009 (Peabody, MA) — For now, scientists at Florida State University (FSU) can only envision what some misoriented atoms are up to along the defects of the new materials that they are developing. They’ll finally be able to clearly see each individual atom and how it relates to its neighbors when they take... Read more
The function of nerve and muscle cells relies on ionic currents flowing through ion channels. These ion channels play a major role in cell physiology. One way to investigate ion channels is to use patch clamping. This method allows investigation of ion channels in detail and recording of the electric activity of different types of... Read more
