‘Microscope’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Hamamatsu launches xenon short arc reflector lamp from
Hamamatsu Photonics , which we summarised at the time by saying "Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced the 100W xenon short arc reflector lamp.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Newport to exhibit products at Neuroscience 2009 from
Newport Spectra-Physics: "Newport Corporation will demonstrate a variety of life and health science products during the Neuroscience 2009 exhibition from 17-21 October 2009 in Chicago.".
In September 2009, we covered the news from Rodriguez (UK)
- take a look at PCS equipment uses Domiline linear motion system
which says: "Two of PCS's tribology test equipment and laboratory instruments feature the IEF Werner Domiline linear motion system from Rodriguez.".
Take a look also at the news release from Nikon UK, Nikon develops high zoom stereomicroscope,
as well as Surface coating reduces premature bearing failure from Schaeffler (UK),
and Leica uses RTP compound for microscope housings from RTP Company.
