309 Hillside Street
Milton, MA 02186
IonOptix manufactures high-performance fluo-
rescence and contractility data acquisition sys-
tems. New for 2014, we’ve added a revolution-
ary force transducer to our MyoStretcher preci-
sion instrument. With the highest resolution
and response frequency available, this optical
force transducer enables the most precise, most
accurate single myocyte force measurements
available today.

ISS, Inc.
400
1602 Newton Drive
Champaign, IL 61822
ISS manufactures research-grade fluores-
cence instrumentation for time-resolved and
steady-state measurements, and biomedi-
cal instrumentation for the measurements
of oxygen saturation in tissue (brain and
muscle) as well as functional brain imaging.
An extensive line of modular compo-
nents complements the instrumenta-
tion: laser diodes, LEDs, high pressure cell
and fiber optic sensors amongst an exten-
sive line of accessories; data acquisition
cards for FCS and FLIM, laser launchers,
galvo-scanning mirrors and detector units.
Applications include Fluorescence Resonance
Energy Transfer (FRET), Fluorescence Lifetime
Imaging (FLIM), Fluorescence Fluctuation
Spectroscopy (FCS, FCCS, PCH), tissue oxy-
genation, and Optical Topography (NIRS).

Luigs & Neumann GmbH 321
Boschstrasse 19
Ratingen 40880
Germany
Since the early eighties Luigs & Neumann has
established itself as well known developer and
producer of electrophysiological workstations.
This wealth of experience and the feedback
from scientists from all over the world are the
basis of the high engineering standards and
manufacturing quality of Luigs & Neumann.
Now Luigs & Neumann introduces a new
Product line: Single molecule force-spectroscopy
is an expanding field of research studying mol-
ecules under mechanical force. Atomic force
microscopy (AFM) was especially successful in
studying the mechanical properties of recombi-
nant polyproteins, which are typically less than
50 nm in length. The technological improve-
ments, the accumulated expertise in force clamp
spectroscopy of Julio Fernandez and his group
and the collaboration with Luigs & Neumann
have crystallized in a new commercial setup, the
LN-AFS Pico 1.
Stick around until Wednesday
to Meet the Speakers and
Biophysical Journal
Editors in the Exhibit Hall.
