 Light Microscopy and SEM of Bacteria in Dentin in Traumatized Primary Teeth by Agneta Robertson and Sandor Nietzsche, Department of Pedodontics, University of Gothenburg, Göteborg, Sweden. The authors investigated the presence, intensity, and location of bacterial penetration into the dentinal tubules in traumatized primary teeth using two techniques: light microscopy after Brown and Brenn staining and scanning electron microscopy.

 M&M 2009 was held in Richmond, Virginia, 26-30 July. Everyone agreed that whilst attendance was down on 2008 it was nevertheless a highly successful meeting with excellent presentations on state-of-the-art microscopy and the largest microscopy exhibition of the year in North America that saw the launch of some exciting new electron microscopes, spectrometers, cameras and microscopy accessories.
Read the Editor's report in the September issue
 In a ground-breaking move, Microscopy and Analysis had a team of microscopists and editors writing daily blogs at the recent Microscopy and Microanalysis Meeting in Richmond, Virginia. The written and video blogs highlighted the presentations given at the conference plenary, platform and poster sessions, the MSA micrograph competition, interviews with delegates, and some of the new microscopy products at the exhibition.

Microspectroscopy for Geology
from HORIBA Scientific
The HORIBA Scientific chemical (Raman) and elemental (X-ray fluorescence) microscopes provide fast answers to key questions in geology:
· Mineral composition and identification; · Crystallinity; · Trace elements; · Inclusion composition and location; · Ion migration
Contact us to arrange a demonstration of these powerful techniques, and see what questions they can answer for you!
XploRA Raman chemical microscope
The new XploRA™ is a true confocal Raman microscope, compact and easy to use, that allows mineral species to be identified and their distribution mapped with high spatial discrimination (down to sub-µm resolution). Due to the non-destructive aspect of the technique, this system enables fluid inclusions to be analysed in-situ.

XGT-7000 XRF elemental microscope
Micro-XRF offers excellent sensitivity to trace elements (Na to U), for fast identification of mineral species. Unique 10 µm spot size enables analysis of microscopic features and particles, and detailed elemental imaging. Micro-XRF is a faster, easier, and higher sensitivity alternative to SEM/EDX (EPMA) systems.
