 Infrared Microspectroscopy in Cancer Diagnosis. Do We Need Synchrotron Light?
Josep Sulé-Suso 1,2 and Gianfelice Cinque 3 1. Cancer Centre, University Hospital of North Staffordshire, UK. 2. Guy Hilton Research Centre, Keele University, UK. 3. Diamond Light Source, Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, UK.
Over the last few years, infrared microspectroscopy has been used to study cells and tissues for cancer diagnosis. The technical developments using benchtop interferometers and the possibility of analysing cells at subcellular level with an infrared synchrotron light have led to an increased interest in this area of research. Research work is now aimed at characterizing spectral biomarkers for cancer diagnosis

 Leica Microsystems adds routine stereomicroscope M60 to its successful M series The latest high-performance generation of the well-known Leica M series has been extended with the new Leica M60 stereomicroscope. Leica now offers a whole family of stereomicroscopes designed on the modular common main objective principle: the Leica M50, M60 and M80
 Agar Scientific releases their latest catalogue of accessories for microscopy at MicroScience 2010 Agar Scientific chose the MicroScience 2010 event to launch their 8th comprehensive catalogue of accessories for microscopy. Agar serves the three main channels of microscopy supplying instrumentation and accessories for the electron, light and scanning probe microscopy communities
 Nikon launches BioStation IM-Q incubator imaging system Adding to Nikon's groundbreaking series of BioStation incubator imaging systems, the new BioStation IM-Q allows users with minimal microscopy experience to conduct live cell imaging without a steep learning curve. This compact system incorporates a microscope, an incubator and a high-sensitivity, cooled quantitative CCD camera
 Olympus America launches zero drift system for time-lapse microscopy Olympus America has introduced the IX81-ZDC2 Zero Drift motorized inverted microscope with a comprehensive, integrated autofocus solution for investigators doing time-lapse experiments. The next-generation autofocus system is designed to operate continuously maintaining focus even for experiments on a short timescale
 Basler Vision Technologies adds two models to its aviator area scan camera series Basler is adding two new camera models to its aviator area scan camera series. The new mono and colour camera models feature 31 frames per second speed at 2330 x 1750 pixel resolution and a Camera Link interface
 Motic releases the Moticam PRO series of digital cameras for microscopy A new series of digital cameras for microscopy, the Moticam PRO, has 12 different models with different SONY ICX sensor characteristics. It includes colour CCD imaging sensors for use with conventional microscopy techniques, monochrome CCD imaging sensors for low light microscopy and Peltier-cooled CCD colour and monochrome imaging sensors for fluorescence microscopy
 Highly-sensitive Andor EMCCD camera helps redraw boundaries of super-resolution 3D imaging With the help of a highly sensitive Andor iXon+ EMCCD camera, US researchers have developed a super-resolution, 3D imaging technique that can resolve single fluorescent molecules with greater than 10 times more precision than conventional optical microscopy |

BLOGGERS WANTED FOR M&M
|
M&A is seeking dynamic and literate microscopists who are interested in writing daily blog posts for our website from the Microscopy and Microanalysis 2010 meeting in Portland. You can report on any field of microscopy represented at the meeting. To qualify as a blogger you must be planning to attend the meeting for at least one full day and be willing to submit several posts, either text or video based (we will supply 'Flip' video cameras), for which we will pay $150 per day. We are planning to publish multiple posts on our website over the course of the meeting.
If you are interested in blogging for us, please email the Editor Dr Julian Heath editor@microscopy-analysis.com with a brief statement describing what events at M&M 2010 you plan to blog about. Please include your address and your Microscopy and Analysis account number (if you are an M&A subscriber).
