325 Chapala Street
Santa Barbara, CA 93101
Anasys builds products that measure nanoscale
material properties. We pioneered the fields of
nanoscale IR, thermal and mechanical spectros-
copy. In Oct 2013, we introduced the nanoIR2™
with top-side illumination, the second genera-
tion of our AFM based spectroscopy platform
which expands nanoscale IR to a broad variety of
real world samples.

Andor Technology is a global leader in the manu-
facturing of high performance scientific imaging
cameras, spectroscopy solutions, and microscopy
systems for research and OEM markets. Andor
has been innovating for over 20 years for high
performance light measuring solutions that allow
consumers to perform light measurements previ-
ously considered impossible.

Instrumentation
29391 West Enid Road
Eugene, OR 97402
Applied Scientific Instrumentation, Inc. (ASI)
manufactures top-of-the-line products for sub-
micron positioning & Microscopy, including DC
servomotor stages, stages with integrated piezos
that provide high-speed nano meter resolution,
LED based feedback systems for maintaining
focus stability over time & also while scanning.
ASI offers individual components, as well as
complete turnkey motion control & micros-
copy systems. Our new Dual Inverted Selective
Plane Microscopy system (diSPIM) offers several
advantages over confocal & other microscopy
systems including:
• Use conventional mounting /glass cover slips
• Generate 3D volumes with isotropic resolu-
tion (330 nm in all directions)
• Axial resolution is ~2x better than confocal-
or spinning disk systems
• Achieve a ~7-10 fold reduction in photo-
bleaching
• Acquisition rates up to 200 images per sec-
ond or 2-5 volumes per second (roughly 10x
faster than spinning-disk microscopes)
• Microscope has multicolor capability, and
has been tested successfully on cells on cover
slips, and embryos.
Asylum Research,

an Oxford Instruments Company
6310 Hollister Avenue
Santa Barbara, CA 93117
The AFM technology leader will feature new
blueDrive™ Photothermal Excitation, an
option exclusively available on Cypher™, the
highest resolution fast scanning AFM. blue-
Drive significantly enhances the performance
of tapping mode imaging with more simple,
stable and quantitative operation, providing
extremely clean tunes in both air and water.
blueDrive will be scanning on the Cypher
ES Environmental AFM. Cypher ES offers
unmatched performance in any environment
including buffers, solvents, inert gases, strong
acids and bases, with continuous liquid flow,
heating, and cooling capabilities. It utilizes all
standard imaging modes, and many advanced
modes for the highest resolution imaging
of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, as well
as force measurements and nanomechanics.
Also featured is the MFP-3D-BIO™ AFM for
uncompromised AFM integrated with opti-
cal microscopy. The MFP-3D-BIO excels at
live cell imaging, combined AFM and optical
measurements, force spectroscopy, and has
the widest variety of accessories for biophysics
applications and multi-disciplinary research.
