We design breakthrough, award-winning prod- ucts that provide nanoscale probe based analyti- cal techniques while providing high quality AFM imaging. We pioneered nanoscale IR spectros- copy, nanoscale thermal analysis and wideband nanoscale dynamic mechanical spectroscopy.

ASI /Applied Scientific Instrumentation ASI’s areas of expertise are with sub-micron motion control, electronics, firmware, optics, and illumi- nation. We manufacture hardware for laboratory & microscope automation. ASI’s standard prod- uct line includes: • Ultra precise & stable closed-loop DC servo motor X Y stages & Z drives • Piezo stages for ultra-precise & fast Z-axis focusing • Modular open frame microscopes • Selective plane (Light Sheet) microscopes including dual inverted selective plane micros- copy system (diSPIM)

Aurora Scientific provides solutions for measur- ing the dynamic physical properties of muscle and connective tissue. Muscle mechanics sys- tems cover the range from single myocyte to whole large-animal in-situ. Products: Muscle Lever Systems, Force Transducers, High-Current Stimulators, Test Apparatus and Software. New Products: Dynamic Muscle Analysis Software with high throughput module.

The AFM technology leader will feature the Cypher ES Environmental AFM and our new Fast Force Mapping Mode. There is no other AFM like Cypher™—offering unmatched per- formance in any environment including buffers, solvents, inert gases, strong acids and bases with continuous flow through 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. Its many ease-of-use features, including GetStarted™, and blueDrive™ for fluid imaging, make AFM operation faster and easier. We’ll also feature the MFP-3D-BIO™ for uncompromised AFM integrated with optical microscopy. The MFP- 3D-BIO excels at live cell imaging, combined with AFM and optical measurements, force spec- troscopy and has the widest variety of accessories for biophysics and multi-disciplinary research. Learn more about all the latest AFM advances at our Lunch and Learn Exhibitor Technical Presentation, Monday 11:30-1:00, Room A.
