While the main issue on the first day was the presentation of new developments in EDS analysis and detector technologies, the second day was dedicated to the combination of different analytical methods and to practical applications of the Bruker Quantax EDS system. More than 120 EDS users participated in the event.","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"108 1","pages":"18-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74659275","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}

Amplitude and Frequency Modulation modes at room and low temperature in UHV indicate semi-contact or non-contact as the best modes to achieve high resolution on such small biological molecules. A step forward to more quantitative results is single point force spectroscopy. The force and potential evaluation from the experimental curves evidences the contrast between substrate and DNA and suggests the Non Contact AFM as a possible tool for molecular recognition.","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"99 1","pages":"44-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73254747","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}

While significant progress has been made in stem cell research in recent years, several hurdles remain to be overcome before stem cells can be used routinely in the clinic. In particular, the understanding of the mechanisms that control cell integration, differentiation and proliferation in recipient tissues is far from complete. Identifying the factors that affect these mechanisms will be of enormous value in improving the therapeutic potential of stem cells. New stem cell models of disease together with highly controlled cell culture conditions and microscopic monitoring will be important tools in the study of these processes in vitro.","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"80 1","pages":"39-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89900513","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}

Within this project, the TEAM 0.5 prototype microscope is currently being commissioned. The instrument is equipped with a high brightness gun and a monochromator [2]. However, already in the past concerns were raised [3] and debated [4] that the high current density in field emission microscopes may alter the atomic structure of materials too fast to record undamaged images of compound semiconductors. Concerns about electron beam induced knock-on damage are indeed very relevant because the TEAM project aims at reconstructing the three dimensional structure of materials at atomic resolution, which requires maintaining structural integrity. On the other hand detailed knowledge about knock-on and ionisation damage in such microscopes is absent and the TEAM0.5 microscope is ideally suited for such investigations since its unprecedented performance allows for the detection of single atoms of most elements of the periodic system [2].","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"1 1","pages":"24-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82770749","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}

Hitherto, this was almost always achieved by diffraction methods averaging over many identical structures and, where it can be used, this remains the most powerful approach. However, the need to characterise the atomic positions in non-periodic structures is being driven by our ability and need to engineer and understand complex non-periodic structures at this scale. Engineered structures where this is relevant range from semiconductor interfaces, dopants and defects through atoms segregated to grain boundaries in structural materials to the detailed morphology and atomic distribution in catalyst nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"105 1","pages":"28-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88306394","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}
