New Possibilities in Engineering and Biomedical Research
Used by leading companies and research institutions around the world, Carl Zeiss’ products provide engineers, scientists and medical researchers the ability to “see” and identify the most minute component of any substance or element.
For example, the newly introduced LSM 710, family member of the Confocal Laser Scanning microscope from Carl Zeiss, defines new standards for sensitivity and flexibility. The system provides high-resolution images of the fluorescent structures in living animals as well as in thick tissue specimens. In addition, Carl Zeiss' Laser Capture Microdissection system employs contact-free laser cutting and catapulting technique to ensure specimens are contamination-free, and are pure extraction of biomolecules and living cell material - an important foundation for successful biomedical research.
On the nanotechnology front, Carl Zeiss’ NVision 40 represents a powerful tool for 3D nano-scale high-resolution imaging, analytics and manipulation. This tool comprises a high resolution scanning electron beam column, a sophisticated gas injection system and a Gallium-ion column for sample preparation and manipulation. With these capabilities, NVision 40 offers never-before-seen imaging and analytical possibilities that are required by the semiconductor industry, telecommunication, automotive and aerospace industries, as well as the mechanical engineering and plastics production sectors.
