• Zeiss to intro SIM/PALM combination hi-res microscopy systems by year end

    JULY 1, 2009--Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH (Jena, Germany) plans to launch a new high-resolution microscopy product line by the end of this year, to enable biomedical scientists to examine objects at maximum resolution. The new systems will combine high resolution structured illumination microscopy (HR-SIM) and photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) to enable "new approaches and experiments in all disciplines of biomedical research," according to president and CEO Ulrich Simon.

    JULY 1, 2009--Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH (Jena, Germany) plans to launch a new high-resolution microscopy product line by the end of this year, to enable biomedical scientists to examine objects at maximum resolution. The new systems will combine two techniques used in Zeiss microscopes--high resolution structured illumination microscopy (HR-SIM) and photoactivated localization microscopy (PAL-M or PALM)--to "add a new dimension to fluorescence microscopy, thus enabling new approaches and experiments in all disciplines of biomedical research," according to company president and CEO Dr. Ulrich Simon.
