CoolLED and Camtek advance semiconductor wafer inspection
CoolLED and Camtek have partnered to bring a multi-wavelength LED illumination platform from development to in-fab qualification in just nine months
More than a gut feeling: what happens when microbes get stressed?
A closer look at how two human gut bacteria respond to nutrient stress, changing shape, behaviour and even cope better when they’ve got company
A ‘Nanometre’ Isn’t A Colour
Why “blue” isn’t really specific enough in fluorescence microscopy, and why a few nanometres can make a surprisingly big difference
It’s ‘just’ a light source… How hard can it be?
Why developing illumination for an OEM instrument involves rather more than choosing a bright LED, attaching a lens and pointing it in the right direction…
The Amazing Journey of a Fluorescence Photon
What actually happens between switching on the light and seeing an image? From LED illumination to fluorescence image, it’s a surprisingly busy day for a photon…
A Day in the Lab: Metal Halide vs LED Illumination
A day in the lab with metal halide versus LED illumination, from warm-up delays and heat to bulb changes, downtime and disposal
How LED Illumination Changed Slide Scanning
How LED illumination has helped make slide scanning faster, more consistent and better suited to modern multiplexed digital pathology
One Of The Most Incredible Things Humans Can Manufacture
Follow a silicon wafer through months of lasers, plasma, microscopic layering and LED inspection to see how one of humanity’s most ridiculous manufacturing feats becomes a working semiconductor.
If You Think This Heatwave Is Bad, Try Being a Live Cell Under a Microscope…
Because your cell samples are delicate little things, and your light source absolutely does not need to bring the weather indoors
How to maintain a CoolLED LED Illumination System
A guide to maintaining your CoolLED LED illumination system… otherwise known as switching it on and ‘getting on with your day’
Case Study: How to stay ahead of the mercury bulb phase-out
How the University of Aberdeen moved from mercury lamps to LED illumination, and what other microscopy facilities can learn from their journey
