• Semrock's BrightLine laser fluorescence filter sets
  Semrock has augmented its flagship BrightLine family of fluorescence filters with a series of high performance fluorescence sets optimized for laser excitation. They were designed for use in laser-scanning and spinning-disk confocal microscopes, as well as total-internal-reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopes, and are also appropriate for any fluorescence microscope or imaging system that demands premium spectral performance and/or beamsplitter flatness.
• JPK NanoTracker nano optics platform
  JPK Instruments' NanoTracker optical tweezers and 3D particle tracking system promises live cell imaging at a new level. It enables researchers to trap and track particles from several µm down to 30nm with the ability to control, manipulate and observe vesicles, endosomes, gene and drug spheres, viruses and bacteria, nanoprobes or -carriers, biomarkers or even whole cells in real time with nanometer precision. The system aims to overcome limitations of other technologies.
• Lumex's high-power LEDs
  With its two new high-power LED products, Lumex promises bright, intense light with low power consumption. TitanBrite, a 5-watt LED that delivers up to 250 lumens of brilliant white light at 700mA of current, is compatible with most surface-mount processes. SuperBeam, which Lumex says is the first high-power 1-watt LED available in through-hole design in North America, focuses intense light into a narrow beam. It is well-suited for very small medical devices.
• Agilent's large-stage AFM with low-noise design
  Agilent Technologies' new 5600LS high-resolution atomic force microscope (AFM) uses a fully addressable 200mm x 200mm stage to image large samples in air or smaller samples in liquid. Created for life sciences and other applications, the system guarantees single atomic steps thanks to its .05nm low-noise design.
• Hi-def clinical microscopy system
  Olympus Canada offers a new tool for clinical pathology and teaching, the High Definition Synergy-HD Microscope Imaging System. It includes a hi-def, wide screen 42" or 47" 1080p LCD monitor and delivers video in real time, displaying the entire slide at all ROIs and magnifications. A camera and 3-chip prism block from Toshiba offers 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30 frames per second, and promises superb color reproduction, contrast, and image detail without binning, jitter, or lag.
• Microlaser for soft-tissue dentistry applications
  Dental laser company Zap Lasers has unveiled what it calls "the world's first microlaser for soft-tissue applications," the Styla MicroLaser. It combines a wireless, cordless design with diode laser technology in a unit measuring 6.9 in. and weighing 1.9 oz. Zap Lasers
• Laser combiner
  Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, CA) has introduced a multiwavelength laser combiner for microscopy applications such as epifluorescence, laser scanning confocal microscopy, and flow cytometry.
• Flat-panel sensor
  Hamamatsu (Bridgewater, NJ) has introduced the C9252DK-14 flat panel sensor, a digital X-ray image sensor designed for CT imaging, panoramic and cephalometric imaging, somatology, and biochemical imaging.
• Flash photolysis spectrometer
  Kronos from Ultrafast Systems (Sarasota, FL) is an inexpensive miniature flash photolysis spectrometer designed to introduce chemistry students to the principles of chemical kinetics using time-resolved spectrometry.
• Microscope camera
  The new ProgRes C7 microscope camera from Jenoptik (Jena, Germany) is equipped with instantaneous SXGA live image, mechanical shutter and 7 megapixel CCD sensor, recording even the tiniest specimen structures in a precise and detailed fashion.
