The biomimetic composites show a hierarchical structural shape development starting from a hexagonal prismatic seed via dumbbell states and ending up with slightly notched spheres. This complex morphogenesis is caused by protein fibrils which are integrated into the nanocomposite superstructure. As evidenced by electron holography an intrinsic electric dipole field is generated by parallel alignment of nanocomposite subunits. The developing intrinsic electric field is then responsible for the formation and integration of the fibril pattern.","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"40 1","pages":"38-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75699417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Founded in January 2008, the Vice President's Fund was set up to support worthy projects that use microscopy to contribute to the public understanding of science or be of benefit to the Developing World. This new fund will support such projects that are in line with the objectives of the society up to a maximum of £ 5000 for each award. Dr. Paul Monaghan, RMS Vice President and International Secretary commented, “The Society receives a number of requests for financial support each year, most of which are very interesting and worthy of support. However, previously there were no channels through which they could be funded. This exciting new development has enabled us to remedy this and play an important role in the advancement of microscopy”.","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"5 1","pages":"10-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83434762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The world's first diode laser was shown in April at the Analytica in Munich. An output power of up to 20 mW on a very small footprint is available with no additional cooling or high voltage requirement. As direct replacement for the 10,000 or more Argon ion laser units used ever year in biophotonical applications, this promises to change the instrumentation landscape. Such a laser is particularly suited for integrators that strive for much reduced noise figures, reduced heat generation, and smaller footprint.","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"52 1","pages":"50-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76957584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
