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
December 10, 2013 (Peabody, Mass.) — JEOL, Ltd., a world leader in electron microscopy, has announced a joint initiative between JEOL and Gatan that brings the power of Serial Block Face imaging to the JEOL family of scanning electron microscopes. Researchers will be able to image 3D structures of biological and materials samples at ultrahigh... Read more
When Stefan Hell invented a technique that pushed beyond the diffraction limit of light for the first time, a new field of nanoscale imaging was born. Now laboratories around the world are using STED microscopy to smash through more boundaries in fundamental science. Read more
September 4, 2013 (Peabody, MA) — JEOL introduces a new Scanning Electron Microscope with expanded pressure range, large specimen chamber, and unsurpassed resolution for imaging and characterizing a wide variety of sample types and sizes. The JSM-IT300LV is the latest addition to JEOL’s popular series of tungsten low vacuum SEMs. This all-new design builds upon... Read more
August 5, 2013 (M&M 2013, Indianapolis, Indiana) — JEOL USA will demonstrate its new JEM-1400Plus, a 120kV Transmission Electron Microscope, at Microscopy & Microanalysis (M&M) 2013 in Indianapolis, Indiana, from August 5-8. Based on the popular JEM-1400, the new TEM is making its debut in the United States at the annual meeting of the Microscopy... Read more
Since super-resolution microscopy techniques revolutionized the concept of light microscopy by overcoming the physical diffraction limit, STED microscopy and other super-resolution techniques have aroused considerable interest. The diffraction limit imposes no more constraints on resolution. New microscopes with ever-decreasing resolution limits are being developed, for instance by the inventor of STED microscopy, Prof. Stefan Hell,... Read more
April 15, 2013 – Pacific Grove, California — JEOL Resonance (Akishima City, Tokyo) has developed a new Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) super conducting magnet that operates on a minimum amount of liquid helium. The new NMR system will be announced at the 54th Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference (ENC), the largest NMR conference in the... Read more
