New Multi-Sensor 3-CMOS Prism-Based Area Scan Camera
JAI launched a new multi-sensor industrial camera in the Apex Series. The Apex AP-3200T-USB is a 3-CMOS prism-based R-G-B area scan camera providing better color fidelity and spatial precision than traditional Bayer color cameras. With the color enhancer tool, it is possible to strengthen specific colors in the image for additive hues and subtractive hues. This feature is particularly useful in certain applications such as microscopy and medical imaging.

SEM Inspection of ICs at Low Beam Energies
SEM inspection is part of routine processes of root-cause failure analysis in semiconductor foundries. The new TESCAN S8000 is an ideal instrument for SEM investigations and failure analysis of modern semiconductor devices due to its excellent performance at low beam energies, which is essential to image beam-sensitive structures in delayered ICs. The detection system in the TESCAN S8000 provides excellent topographical contrast suitable to monitor delayering processes.

Multi-Functional Microspectrophotometer Featuring UV-Visible-NIR, Photoluminescence, Raman, and Polarization Microspectra™
CRAIC Technologies has added Raman microspectroscopy to its 20/30 Perfect Vision™ microspectrophotometer. The 20/30 PV™ can acquire Raman spectra by integrating the new Apollo II™ Raman microspectrometer with the 20/30 PV™. Together, these two systems offer multiple laser wavelengths, in addition to UV-visible-NIR absorbance, reflectance, fluorescence, and emission microspectra™. The 20/30 PV™ features the ability to acquire images of these same microscopic samples in the UV, visible, and NIR regions.

NANOPSIS Super-Resolution Microscopy
Nanopsis has developed an new optical microscopy technology that allows for imaging below the theoretical limit of light microscopy to provide color images down to the 50 nm level. In the biological arena, this means that there is the potential to see live samples without protein fixation. In the semiconductor world, this technique allows imaging of features and regions of different colors due to different materials. The method bridges the gap between SEM and optical microscopy.

JAI Adds High-Speed Trilinear to its Line Scan Camera Offering
The SW-4000TL-PMCL trilinear camera expands the options for designers of color line scan-based systems, which have previously relied on JAI’s Sweep+ Series of prism-based RGB and RGB+NIR line scan cameras to deliver the maximum in color image fidelity, sensitivity, and configuration flexibility. The high-performance trilinear technology in the SW-4000TL-PMCL combined with a broad set of advanced features give designers an alternative for applications not requiring the ultimate precision provided by prism cameras.

Best of Two Worlds: Combining Optical Tweezers with Time-Resolved Confocal Microscopy
PicoQuant and Ionovation combined time-resolved microscopy and optical tweezers in a single system. Both instruments retain their individual functionalities but can also be used together, thus enabling customers to carry out time-resolved fluorescence microscopy on trapped objects such as cells. PicoQuant’s MicroTime 200 platform is the most flexible and extensible high-end research tool for time-resolved fluorescence microscopy requiring single-molecule sensitivity.

NIST-Traceable Color Transmission Calibration Slide for Digital Pathology Imaging
Developed with input from bright-field microscopy experts, the IAM-9C-SECCAL Color Transmission Calibration Slide from APPLIED IMAGE Inc. offers NIST-traceable color integrity of digitally captured microscopy images. The slide contains 24 colors in a 4 × 6 array. Each of the twenty-four 4150 μm-diameter patches is individually calibrated. Small patches of 1000 and 150 μm are exposed and processed at the same time to produce a good correlation of the large calibrated patches to the smaller ones.

Basler ace – Now with Stacked ROI and PGI for Monochrome Cameras
PGI, combining 5 × 5 debayering, color-anti-aliasing, denoising, and improved sharpness, has already simplified color applications in many areas. Now an adjusted version of this in-camera image optimization is available for monochrome cameras. The denoising and improved sharpness features of the PGI are perfectly adapted to the demands of monochrome cameras. A debayered pixel format is not required for these cameras. As a result, raw images can be used, and the maximum sensor speed can be used.

New 2D Superresolution Mode for ZEISS Airyscan
The ZEISS LSM 8 with Airyscan, with its unique 32-channel GaAsP array detector, captures more spatial information than traditional confocal microscopes. The new 2D Superresolution mode now uses this additional information to create an optical section of 0.2 Airy units and resolves structures down to 120 nanometers laterally in a single image. The Airyscan is an area detector that detects all fluorescence emission photons. Their information is used to deliver higher sensitivity, superresolution, and high acquisition speeds.
