BAM researchers clearly identify single pollen grains by mass spectrometry:
Pollen represent one major cause for allergic diseases. Even today, their conventional identification is performed by time-consuming microscopic determination of their morphology, although alternative spectroscopic…
BAM Research on the Qumran fragments raises doubts about their authenticity:
On 22 October 2018, the Museum of the Bible announced the results of the analysis of its five Dead Sea Scrolls fragments. At the request of the museum, the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM)…
The start-up Sensical seeks to use fibre-optical measurement technology to examine buildings and develop maintenance plans:
Forty-three people died when a bridge collapsed in Geneva in mid-August. A ruptured cable was the likely cause. In Germany, too, the bad condition of many bridges regularly makes the headlines. In Berlin, many busy…
Novel X-ray microscope to produce microstructural images in situ and in vivo:
An interdisciplinary team of scientists will develop a new imaging method to investigate osteoporosis and other bone diseases in living subjects. Prof. Silke Christiansen, a scientist at HZB and physics professor at…
PicoQuant and Ionovation now offer an integrated platform that combines microscopy and force spectroscopy:
As a joint development, PicoQuant and Ionovation combined time-resolved microscopy and optical tweezers in a single system. Both instruments retain their individual functionalities but can also be used together, thus…
Two new models from the PMA Hybrid Series cover broad spectral ranges with excellent detection efficiency:
PicoQuant has released two new single photon sensitive hybrid photo detector models with excellent temporal resolution for its PMA Hybrid Series: The PMA Hybrid 42 covers the entire visible range from 300 to 850 nm…
