 Spinning Disk Confocal Microscopy of Calcium Signalling in Blood Vessel Walls Mark Nelson et al. Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT, USA. Spinning disk confocal laser microscopy systems can be used for observing fast events occurring in a small volume when they include a sensitive electron multiplying CCD camera. Such a confocal system was recently used to capture the first pictures of intracellular calcium signalling within the projections of endothelial cells to the adjacent smooth muscle cells in the blood vessel wall...

 Nikon introduces new colour camera to Digital Sight series
Nikon has added the high speed DS-Vi1 colour camera to its range of Digital Sight cameras for microscopy. The DS-Vi1 offers high frame rates and increased sensitivity for both multiple live image and sharp still image capture, making it ideal for high end biological research
 Olympus expands TIRF microscopy with three new high-performance objectives The new 150x ultra-magnification objective offers a numerical aperture (NA) of 1.45 for optimal magnification, resolution, light gathering ability and imaging performance. New 60x and 100x oil immersion objectives have NAs of 1.49
 Hamamatsu introduces the new ORCA-Flash2.8 scientific CMOS camera The new ORCA-Flash2.8, a high-sensitivity digital camera based on a next-generation scientific CMOS image sensor is designed for low-light imaging at high frame rates, this new camera combines high resolution, high sensitivity, high speed and low noise
 TIRF perfection - even, equal and simultaneous - from Olympus
The new advanced cell^TIRF system is part of the newly launched xcellence live-cell fluorescence imaging station. cell^TIRF enables simultaneous multi-colour total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy offering 4 laser channels with independent beam paths
 HORIBA Scientific has released the XploRA confocal Raman microscope The XploRA Raman microscope with the ground-breaking SWIFT confocal Raman image operation, enables this compact analytical Raman spectrometer to enter into the realm of the research microscope
 Leica Microsystems launches new line of digital microscopes A new generation of digital microscopes – DVM5000, DVM3000, and DVM2000 – opens new horizons of mobility and speed, benefiting industrial quality control which places stringent requirements on macroscopic and microscopic imaging and image processing
 Andor Technology launches Clara E high-resolution interline CCD camera Clara E uses Andor’s proven vacuum process, delivering air cooling performance to -20C, complementing a low read noise of 3 e- at 1 MHz. Dynamic events can be followed with outstanding quantitative stability via low noise 10 or 20 MHz readout modes
