First images of calcium pulsars
US researchers have captured the first pictures of intercellular calcium signalling in blood vessel walls using an Andor Revolution® XD microscopy system with iXonEM+ EMCCD camera. Calcium signalling between the cells which line blood vessels and surrounding smooth muscle is critical for blood flow and pressure regulation. Full Story
Performance Breakthrough with iQ 1.10
This latest version of Andor’s Live Cell imaging software marks a significant development in terms of performance and flexibility. iQ 1.10 enables high speed, dual camera, simultaneous acquisition (up to 30 fps) in a single PC and extends the application of Fast Lambda-Z (FLZ) module for tightly synchronized wavelength and Z scanning.

Super-Resolution Microscopy
A team from Harvard University have used Super-resolution 3D microscopy to uncover cellular interactions with nanometer-scale resolution. An ultra-sensitive iXonEM+ EMCCD camera helped the researchers see the 3D spatial relationship between cellular structures – mitochondria and microtubules – with nanometre-scale resolution, for the first time.

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
Andor's iStar ICCD camera and Mechelle spectrometer have helped researchers make the first direct measurements of trace elements in fresh vegetables using a technique based on the detection of optical emission from a laser-induced plasma. The study is the first to use LIBS to measure potentially harmful trace element concentrations directly in fresh vegetables, rather than...Full Story
Webinar: Laser-based Spinning Disk
This webinar covers the technology behind Laser-based Spinning Disk Confocal Microscopy Systems, including insights into the principles of operation of EMCCD technology.
Presented by Dr Mark Browne, Director of Andor's Systems Divison, the recorded event is now available for everyone in the learning section of our website.
Pinpointing Enzyme Groups
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry have pinpointed enzyme groups on cell membranes using an Andor Technology Revolution® laser spinning disk system, equipped with an ultrasensitive scientific digital camera. Their basic research could eventually benefit researchers developing anti-cancer treatments and drugs to prevent transplant rejection. Full Story
Combined Optical/AFM Technology
The announcement that support for all Andor imaging EMCCD cameras within JPK Instruments AG’s (JPK) products for nano-biotechnology, ensures that true integration is obtained between fluorescence imaging on the one hand and JPK’s NanoWizard® AFM imaging or NanoTracker™ optical tweezers on the other...Full Story
