New Microscopy Method to Deliver 3-D Image of Whole Living Cell

For the first time, there is no need to chemically fix, stain or cut cells in order to study them. Instead, whole living cells are fast-frozen and studied in their natural environment. The new method delivers an immediate 3-D image, thereby closing a gap between conventional microscopic techniques.

Surface Metrology Standards Being Developed by Researchers in Poland

The research on materials’ surface layers with spectroscopic methods, extremely important for nanotechnology, material engineering, microelectronics and many other areas, requires knowledge of certain physical parameters that are available in the databases distributed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Used by the researchers worldwide, several of these databases are being developed by Prof. Aleksander Jab³oñski from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
