Using LED Technology in Gas Sensors

Gas Sensing Solutions is developing a new range of compact, faster responding, low-power carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors by employing the novel technology of specially designed LEDs. This indicates that there is no need for mains power for CO2 sensors, thereby opening the door for numerous innovative solutions and applications.

Light-Sheet Microscopy: A Gentle way to Image Live Samples

Unlike traditional imaging techniques such as laser scanning and spinning disk confocal microscopy which are plagued by photobleaching and phototoxicity, light-sheet fluorescence microscopy can be used for imaging live specimens with minimal phototoxic effects.

In this webinar, Dr. Maxfield discusses the benefits of light-sheet fluorescence microscopy as a gentle bio-imaging technique for imaging a wide range of biological samples with high spatial and temporal resolution

Features of sCMOS Cameras Designed Specifically for Fluorescence Microscopy Applications

Sona is Andor’s latest high performance, vacuum cooled sCMOS camera platform, purpose built for fluorescence microscopy.

	Screening for Inhibitors of the Anticancer Target and Ubiquitination Regulator CSN5 with an HTS Fluorescence Polarization Technique A fluorescence polarization assay allows for screening of CSN5 inhibitors, a metalloprotease regulating ubiquitin ligases activity implicated in cancer.

	Super-Resolution Fluorescence Microscopy Super-resolution (SR) fluorescence microscopy encompasses a variety of techniques that can exceed the diffraction limit – the point at which molecular nanostructures can be distinguished from one another.

	Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) Microscopy Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is a super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique which can overcome the diffraction limit.

	New probe allows identification of cancer stem cells in situ A fluorescent molecular probe that targets cancer stem cells has been developed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
