The future of low-cost microscopy could be built around 3D printed components, using ordinary household LEDs combined with fluorescence filters to allow for a range of different imaging techniques. A proposal in the open-access academic journal PLOS ONE outlines the concept behind ‘an assemblage, multi-angle fluorescence and ellipsometric microscope’ capable of viewing an object from […]
Bandpass filters offer a way to improve the resolution of Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) beyond that normally achievable within the diffraction limit, according to an article in the upcoming December issue of BioPhotonics. In the piece, the authors explain how short measurement times and free position or scanning of the target makes FCS “an excellent […]
Major new research has revealed that location is the single most significant factor in ozone detection, with areas where temperature and light levels are higher exhibiting greater levels of the gas. Heat and light levels indicate ozone production Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill mapped the extent to which gas emissions […]
Pilot Gas Alarms are a well established and familiar brand name in LPG detection for boats, with a track record that has been proven time and time again over the past 30 years or more. Our Pilot Gas Alarms are efficient and easy to install When used on a boat, Pilot systems are able to […]
Super Typhoon Haima brought dramatic storm conditions to the Philippines and China in mid-October, and NASA were able to track its progress using optical filters near infrared to detect the likely power of the storm cell. Communities in the northern Philippines were badly hit by the storm, while the city of Hong Kong went into […]
Following Envin Scientific’s recent appearance in The Parliamentary Review Manufacturing Edition 2016, the Review’s director Daniel Yossman has spoken of the sense of privilege that came from working with the firms featured in this year’s publication. “How to set the sailes” Mr Yossman said: “It’s been an utter privilege to work with a range of […]
When the human genome was mapped ‘in full’ over a decade ago, it still technically contained some gaps, and scientists are now investigating these unknown areas using fluorescence filters. Finding the centromere Centromeres are the building blocks of chromosomes, holding them together in a distinctive X shape, and each centromere is surrounded by a repetitive […]
