As a sponsor of the Bloodhound SSC (SuperSonic Car), the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) will follow the progress of the Build Team as it assembles the most powerful land vehicle in history, and see how the success of the project depends to a large extent on the effective application of NDT and condition monitoring.
PicoQuant GmbH has expanded the compatibility list of its FLIM and FCS upgrade kit to include the Zeiss LSM 880 confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). The upgrade kit is an external addition to the CLSM enhancing its capabilities by the addition of time-resolved techniques such as fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), or advanced time-resolved Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) analysis.
Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation will showcase its full range of test solutions designed to enable the Internet of Things (IoT) including automatic test equipment (ATE), terahertz measurement systems, multi-vision scanning-electron microscopes (SEM) and an e-beam lithography system at the SEMICON West 2015 trade show, coming July 14-16 to Moscone Center in San Francisco.
Nordson ASYMTEK, a Nordson company, a global leader in dispensing, jetting, and coating equipment and technologies, announces its new Programmable Tilt + Rotate 5-Axis Fluid Dispenser that enables the jet to dispense using 5 axes of automated control instead of only 3 axes.

At the University of Sydney, Renishaw's SEM-SCA interface optimizes Raman spectroscopy, providing critical insights into biological samples and nanotechnology.
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego have designed and developed a thin cloaking device that addresses some of the shortcomings faced in “invisibility cloaks.” This new device does not modify the light’s brightness surrounding a hidden object. The technology involved in this invisibility cloak device holds promise in optical communications to boost signal speed, and also for concentrating solar energy applications.
