M&A Editor Julian Heath interviews Gatan, JEOL, Hamamatsu and Asylum Research

On Wednesday morning M&A editor Julian Heath with video editor Sue Turner and a Wiley film crew conducted in-depth interviews with four exhibitors to learn more about their latest  products. [The full videos will be posted soon so revisit this page]

Gatan

Dr Christopher Booth, Product Manager at Gatan Inc., demonstrates the new XuM X-ray ultra microscope in an SEM. The XuM uses X-rays generated by an SEM electron probe to penetrate and image the interior structure of specimens.

Hamamatsu

Paul Cormack of Hamamatsu Photonics UK Ltd described two new high-resolution digital cameras: the ORCA Flash 2.8 and the ORCA D2.
For fast, low-light imaging in the visible wavelength region, the ORCA-Flash2.8 scientific CMOS camera offers the benefits of high resolution (3.63 µm), high frame rates (45 fps), and low noise all at once.
For dual wavelength imaging and multifocal point imaging in the visible to NIR region. The ORCA-D2 dual CCD camera features two CCDs in a single camera, and captures dual wavelength images simultaneously and with a wide field of view.

JEOL UK

Andy Yarwood of JEOL UK demonstrated the new Clairscope for correlative microscopy.
Featuring a light microscope positioned above a scanning electron microscope column the new Clairscope allows correlative LM and 9-nm resolution backscattered electron imaging of cell structures.

Asylum Research

Chris Mulcahy, Managing Director of Asylum Research UK, explained the key features of the Cypher scanning probe microscope from Asylum Research. Closed loop atomic resolution using sensors in all three axes ensures the highest resolution and most accurate images possible today.
With the Cypher AFM, you no longer have to choose between the accuracy and control of closed loop and the low noise of open loop. Asylum’s third generation NanoPositioning System sensors are the quietest in the world today.
With positioning accuracies better than 60 picometers in X, Y and Z, you not only achieve atomic resolution in closed loop, you also get the most accurate measurements, positioning and nanomanipulation possible.
