Applied Scientific Instrumentation, Inc. (ASI) manufactures top-of-the-line products for Super-resolution microscopy including DC servomotor stages, stages with integrated piezos that provide high-speed nano meter resolution, LED based focus feedback systems for maintaining focus stability, and our Rapid Automated Modular Microscope (RAMM) system that provides a rock solid, fully con- figurable microscope platform. Our new Dual Inverted Selective Plane Microscopy system (diSPIM) offers several advantages over confo- cal & other microscopy systems including: • Compared to Bessel beamplane illumina- tion approaches, diSPIM offers equiva- lent (or better) axial resolution (~330 nm), 10-100x faster volumetric imaging rates (0.5-1 s instead of 10-100 s), and the ability to image over ~10x more time points (~1000 instead of ~100), due to the significantly lower illumination dose employed in our experiments and the lack of extraneous illumination outside the focal plane • Use conventional mounting/glass cover slips • Generate 3D volumes with isotropic reso- lution (330 nm in all directions) • Axial resolution is ~2x better than confo- cal- or spinning disk systems • Achieve a ~7-10 fold reduction in photo- bleaching • Acquisition rates up to 200 images per second or 2-5 volumes per second

The AFM technology leader will feature the Cypher Atomic Force Microscope. There is no other AFM like Cypher™ — offering unmatched performance in any environment including buffers, solvents, inert gases, strong acids and bases with continuous flow through capabilities. It utilizes all standard imaging modes and many advanced modes for the highest resolution imaging of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, as well as force measure- ments and nanomechanics. Its many ease-of- use features, including GetStarted™, and blue- Drive™ for fluid imaging, make AFM operation faster and easier. . Learn more about all the latest AFM advances at our Lunch and Learn Exhibitor Technical Presentation, Monday 11:30-1:00, Room 218.
