‘Nanotechnology’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Specialised Imaging to hold product exhibition from
Specialised Imaging, which we summarised at the time by saying "Specialised Imaging will be displaying its latest products and applications at the 28th International Congress on High-Speed Imaging and Photonics to be held in Canberra, Australia, 9-14 November. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Ixthus has guide to capacitance gauges from
Ixthus Instrumentation: "Now available on request from Ixthus, a 12-page guide aptly named the 'Introduction to Capacitance Gauges' provides an unbiased overview of the characteristics and benefits of the technology. ".
In August 2008, we covered the news from Digital Surf
- take a look at Laser scope users gain microgeometry analysis
which says: "Mountains is the leading software for surface texture analysis and is the perfect complement to the Olympus LEXT OLS3100 confocal laser scanning microscope.".
Take a look also at the news release from PI (Physik Instrumente), Catalogue is reference work on nanopositioning,
as well as Torquing sense for process plant control from Sensor Technology,
and Report highlights education needs from New Engineering Foundation.
