CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has ordered 35 new “XDS” scroll pumps by Edwards, a leading manufacturer of sophisticated vacuum products and abatement systems and a leading provider of related value-added services.

Mark Allen is first scientific director of Singh Center for Nanotechnology
Mark G. Allen has been named the inaugural scientific director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Krishna P. Singh Center for Nanotechnology.
Energy-saving Dry Pumps
Further developed multi-stage Root pumps “A 100 L SE” (ES: Energy saving) characterized by compact dimensions and high pumping speed. It cuts energy consumption by up to 50 % in comparision to the standard model “A 100 L”. The new pump rounds off the energy-saving product family of medium duty process pumps in the “A3P” series and the harsh duty process pumps in the “A3H” series.
Laser Light Engine Module
Ultra-small laser module “RGBeam” which precisely couples three wavelengths to be used directly
or carried to the customer’s application through a multimode-fiber.
Mica Waveplates
Crystal-optical components and units, mostly customer-specific products in the spectral range of 190 nm to 8 µm. The heart of the company’s production is the manufacture of mica waveplates.
New German-Chinese joint research centre opens in Mainz, Germany
New center will allow researchers to work closely together on projects in the field of regenerative medicine, an area with a promising future.

EM-CCD Camera
Completly new camera „ImagEM X2“ featuring a back-thinned electron-multiplying CCD sensor (EM-CCD) with even faster speed than previous „ImagEM“ cameras. The new camera offers maximum speed and precision performance for low-light imaging.

New Laserbrochure
In a brochure titled „Special Optical Fiber Technologies“, Leoni Fiber Optics presents a review of various solutions for laser beam transmission with laser cables.

Versatile sCMOS Camera
New versatile camera „ORCA-Flash4.0 V2“, a 4-megapixel scientific CMOS camera that offers unrivalled flexibility across a wide range of microscopy applications. The camera has many new features such as two scan speeds, a readout mode for light sheet microscopy, and USB 3.0 and Camera Link interfaces.

Mid-IR Laser Source for the Important Spectral Fingerprint Region
Ultra-broad tunable, very compact quantum cascade laser-based „MIRcat“ to dramaticalle simplify absorption spectroscopy in the „finger print region“.
