 LED Light Sources: A Major Advance in Fluorescence Microscopy
Recent advances in high performance light-emitting diode (LED) technology have enabled their implementation as light sources for fluorescence microscopy |
 Charge Control in Helium-Ion Microscopy of Insulating Samples
Many materials are highly insulating making a challenge for imaging with charged particle microscopes. The helium-ion microscope can meet this challenge |
 Particle Sizing and Identification in Nasal Spray by Raman Imaging
Raman chemical imaging can reveal the particle size distribution and identify ingredient-specific particles, and differentiate multiple components in mixtures |
 Large-Area Silicon Drift Detectors for Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry A new type of silicon drift detector is revolutionising the energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry market with high count rates, liquid nitrogen-free analysis and excellent resolution

NEW M&A WEBSITE
In November, Microscopy and Analysis launched a completely redesigned website packed with many new features including video and audio broadcasts, new editorial, and reader and visitor forums.
The home page will now take you to one of three new channels: Light Microscopy, Electron, Ion and X-ray Microscopy or Scanning Probe Microscopy.
A Message from the Editor:
The M&A website has recently been redesigned and now benefits from an improved functionality, an elegant new look and easy navigation.
From the landing page you can now go to one of three new channels: Light Microscopy; Electron, Ion and X-ray Microscopy; and Scanning Probe Microscopy, from where you can quickly navigate to relevant pages in the web’s premier source of information on microscopy.
As welI as providing you with an online version of the print magazine, our new website now offers you even more content: features and specially commissioned articles; videocasts and podcasts from the big international conferences, our special Learn and Develop resource to keep you up to date; the Community pages; more press releases about new microscopes and accessories; quick links to microscopy suppliers; and our Diary of Events.
A vital feature of the website is its interactiveness. We want your contributions in the form of feature articles, images, videos, events, technical tips, and comments. You can now upload interesting images to our Image Gallery, add a conference or workshop to our Events Diary, and submit articles, meeting reports and technical tips and protocols, all in a very short space of time.
We would especially like to hear from you if you would like to contribute a regular blog or editorial commentary on any field of microscopy.
We want our new website to continue to be the premier resource for all scientists who use microscopes.Through our magazine we reach over 120,000 scientists worldwide; with this new website we can now reach even more. So please get in touch with us and contribute!
Dr Julian P. Heath
