We have recently published this new #openaccess themed issue paper "Cryo‐FIB‐lift‐out: practically impossible to practical reality" which will feature in the upcoming Cryo-FIB special issue > onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jm…

Tarhana is a traditional fermented soup from Turkey. MCBU has developed a method for making powdered, gluten-free soup. Powder samples were coated with 8nm gold using a Q150R ES from Quorum Technologies and examined in a Zeiss 300 VP sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New salesman, Hamed, presenting on behalf of ⁦Quorum Technologies⁩ at the 2nd Joint Symposium of the Microscopy Society of Ireland and Scottish Microscopy Society in beautiful Galway.

PP3010 by Quorum Technologies is often used to look at water & oil emulsions. Leeds University used the PP3010 on a Thermo Scientific Helios G4 CX DualBeam to investigate the use of cellulose microgels to enhance emulsion stability.#CryoSEM sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Uni of Leeds, UK, and NTU, Pakistan, looked at fiber damage in textiles after repeated washing cycles. SEM images were taken in a JSM-6610 before and after washing cycles. The specimens were sputter-coated with gold in a Q150RS from Quorum Technologies. journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117…

Congratulations to Anna Walkiewicz, ⁦Quorum Technologies⁩ application specialist, for winning first place in the image competition at the 78th meeting of the Japan Society of Microscopy in Fukushima. As you can see, she’s quite happy about it and deservedly so!

Dr. Karen Fisher (@fisherke.bsky.social) Wow... it seems EMS is as old as the electron microscope itself.

Just a few more wrinkles to iron out and we’ll be ready for #mm2022Portland tomorrow. ⁦Quorum Technologies⁩ is on booth 1134.

Q150GB by Quorum Technologies is a sputter coater designed for use in glovebox. It has applications in battery research when sample preparation without air contact is required. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

USDA has been looking at mealybugs living in ants' nests. Imaging done on a Hitachi SU-7000 with PP3010 Cryo Prep System by Quorum Technologies doi.org/10.3897/zookey…

Investigating the functional properties of fish gelatin mats. The mats were sputter coated with gold using a Q150TS by Quorum Technologies and imaged in an FEI Quanta FEG 650 at 10,000X magnification. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thanks to Microscopy Society of Ireland🔬 for organising this weeks symposium at the Tyndall Institute in Cork. Hamed Safaie and I are here until Friday if anyone wants to say hi or hear about Quorum Technologies latest coater, the MiniQS.

3D printing of protein-based objects is typically done in water, which makes imaging in a SEM problematic, as that requires drying the sample. Hebrew University got around that by using Quorum Technologies PP3010 on a JSM-7800F to freeze the sample before imaging. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.100…

“The failure of all sides to secure the UK’s association to the EU’s research programmes has now cost UK science £1.6 Billion." Sir Adrian Smith PRS responds to the announcement that BEIS is returning unused #HorizonEurope funding to the Treasury: royalsociety.org/news/2023/02/b…

Examining the electrochromic properties of self-cross-linkable ferrocenyl-containing polysiloxanes. The polymer film was coated with 10 nm of carbon film using Q150 TES coater from ⁦Quorum Technologies⁩ to ensure full surface electric contact. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

First day at JSM79 in beautiful Matsue, Japan.

With ever increasing demand for efficient storage of energy on mobile platforms, supercapacitors potentially provide a higher power density than battery electrodes. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
