Protochips Introduces Axon Software for in situ TEM
Protochips AXON software completely redefines the in situ TEM experience. It puts your sample front and center as you change in situ conditions, at all magnifications. Your focus is where it belongs: on your sample, at all the key moments you want to capture. AXON streamlines processes of collecting quality data. Experiment conditions are synchronized with images, making data analysis easier before and after the imaging session. AXON works with most TEMs and holders.

Hyperion VUV Vacuum Ultraviolet Source from KM Labs
The Hyperion ultraviolet source provides bright femtosecond pulses at numerous wavelengths across the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) range, from 6.0 eV (205 nm) to 10.8 eV (115 nm). The discrete tunability of the Hyperion VUV enables researchers to study a wide range of materials and material properties. A simple computer-selected change of photon energy provides a powerful capability previously only available at a synchrotron facility, which can enhance many experiments.

Rave Scientific: Advantages of Brass, Gold-Plated SEM Sample Holders
Brass-constructed SEM holders with a gold coating have many advantages. Brass provides strength and is non-magnetic, and the one-micron gold plating assists in keeping the sample holders clean during handling. The gold plating is chemically resistant allowing the use of cleaning solutions or plasma cleaning. Clean sample holder surfaces reduce contamination transfer to the samples. These holders are intended for use with table-top SEMs, laboratory-grade SEMs, and FESEMs, and they are compatible with SEMs produced by all manufacturers.

HEMCO MicroFlow I Rust-Resistant Self-Contained Workstation
The MicroFlow I Workstation is a ductless workstation equipped with activated carbon filtration that collects small amounts of non-hazardous fumes and odors. The MicroFlow I workstation is completely self-contained with an integral recessed work surface to contain spills. A clear hood and sash can be conformed for use with a microscope, and a variable-speed fan provides high, medium, and low speeds (low flow for sensitive operations). The system operates on 115 v AC or 230 v and conforms to UL, CSA, and CE requirements.

Edwards Rotary Pump Noise Dampening from Rave Scientific
Jagged lines in an image at high magnification may come from multiple sources. A possible source can be the environment, including EM fields, vibration, and acoustic noise. For problems arising from vacuum rotary pumps, a cost-effective way to address the issues include the use of rubber feet on the pumps to dampen the vibration from the floor or a pump enclosure. Rave Scientific offers both of these solutions to dampen noise originating from rotary pumps.
