Anasys builds products that measure nanoscale material properties. We pioneered the fields of nanoscale IR, thermal and mechanical spectros- copy. In Oct 2013, we introduced the nanoIR2™ with top-side illumination, the second genera- tion of our AFM based spectroscopy platform which expands nanoscale IR to a broad variety of real world samples.

The AFM technology leader will feature new blueDrive™ Photothermal Excitation, an option exclusively available on Cypher™, the highest resolution fast scanning AFM. blue- Drive significantly enhances the performance of tapping mode imaging with more simple, stable and quantitative operation, providing extremely clean tunes in both air and water. blueDrive will be scanning on the Cypher ES Environmental AFM. Cypher ES offers unmatched performance in any environment including buffers, solvents, inert gases, strong acids and bases, with continuous liquid flow, heating, and cooling 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 measurements and nanomechanics. Also featured is the MFP-3D-BIO™ AFM for uncompromised AFM integrated with opti- cal microscopy. The MFP-3D-BIO excels at live cell imaging, combined AFM and optical measurements, force spectroscopy, and has the widest variety of accessories for biophysics applications and multi-disciplinary research.

Applied Scientific Instrumentation, Inc. (ASI) manufactures top-of-the-line products for sub- micron positioning & Microscopy, including DC servomotor stages, stages with integrated piezos that provide high-speed nano meter resolution, LED based feedback systems for maintaining focus stability over time & also while scanning. ASI offers individual components, as well as complete turnkey motion control & micros- copy systems. Our new Dual Inverted Selective Plane Microscopy system (diSPIM) offers several advantages over confocal & other microscopy systems including: • Use conventional mounting /glass cover slips • Generate 3D volumes with isotropic resolu- tion (330 nm in all directions) • Axial resolution is ~2x better than confocal- or spinning disk systems • Achieve a ~7-10 fold reduction in photo- bleaching • Acquisition rates up to 200 images per sec- ond or 2-5 volumes per second (roughly 10x faster than spinning-disk microscopes) • Microscope has multicolor capability, and has been tested successfully on cells on cover slips, and embryos.
