New Imaging Method for Molecules
The new technique – liquid STEM – uses a micro-fluidic device with electron transparent windows to enable the imaging of cells in liquid. In the PNAS article, the investigators demonstrate imaging of individual molecules in a cell, with significantly improved resolution (the fineness of detail in the image) and speed compared to existing imaging methods.

Tetronix introduces SDLA software
Tektronix has announced serial data link analysis (SDLA) software for the DSA70000 real-time oscilloscope series to fully test high-speed serial data designs.With SDLA software, engineers can now utilise a real-time oscilloscope to develop compliant high-speed serial designs on systems that operate as high as 8Gb/sec.SDLA software provides FFE and DFE equalisation methods on the receiver side, and the generation and measurement of pre-emphasis and de-emphasis on the transmitter side.

Hielscher introduces Ultrasonic Mixer
The UIP1000-Exd (20kHz, 1000W) is designed for the ultrasonication of flammable liquids, e.g. solvents in hazardous environments (ATEX, FM). It is used for applications, such as emulsifying, dispersing & particle fine milling, or homogenizing.The transducer, and the flow cell are constructed in stainless steel. The sonotrode is made of titanium. Due to its explosion proof construction it can be used for the efficient inline mixing and dispersing of solvents, e.g. in the production of biodiesel or for the dispersing of solvent based paints or inks.
