The JEOL NeoScope benchtop SEM, born from the combined expertise of Nikon
Instruments and JEOL, is the winner of the SelectScience Scientists'
Choice Award for Best New General Lab Product 2008. Announced at the recent
ACHEMA exhibition in Germany, the Scientists' Choice Awards were based on the
results of an independent poll of more than 25,000 scientists from the SelectScience
online community, who were asked to nominate and vote for what they considered
to be the best new products of 2008. SelectScience.net is the leading online
resource for applied chemists, clinical chemists and life scientists.

“Scientists are always quick to embrace innovation and new technology,”
commented Chay Keogh, Marketing Manager at Nikon Instruments, “The NeoScope
is a fresh new approach offering a powerful yet affordable benchtop SEM. The
Scientist's Choice Award confirms that our combined experience of over
150 years in pioneering imaging technology has enabled JEOL and Nikon to lead
the way in providing another exciting new tool to help accelerate the pace of
research in all fields.”
The SelectScience Choice Award adds to Nikon's exclusive Perfect Focus
System second place ranking in The Scientist's top innovations of 2008.
