Greetings!
New Products and New Collaborations are the theme this fall here at TEMwindows.com.  We invite you to learn more about our product line of TEMVu (below) which feature grids suitable for cell culture. Be sure to check our Featured Publication in this week's issue of PNAS where researchers use our membranes on a chip to develop one of the world's smallest, most efficient pumps.  
Fall Treat: We now also offer free tweezers with each order!

Where Electron Microscopy Meets Optical Microscopy
Schematic of Polycarbonate TEMVu Slide 
TEMVu allows one TEM window to easily transition between prep, light, fluorescent, and electron microscopy.  This product is ideal for optical and electron microscopy of a fluorescent nanoparticle.
 
Transfer grids from slide to microscope, ideal for live cell imaging and staining prior to TEM.
Featured Customer Abstract
Silicon Nitride for Cryo-Electron Microscopy
As part of our Travel Award Series for M&M 2013 a featured winner had great results with our Silicon Nitride suitable for Cryo-Electron Microscopy
      
"Our initial findings indicate that viral particles prepared on Cryo-SiN exhibited greater contrast in comparison to those prepared on holey carbon films under the same conditions.  As a result, we were able to calculate 3D reconstructions of viral particles prepared on Cryo-SiN using a fraction of the images required for samples prepared on holey carbon films."
-Tanner et al. Microscopy & Microanalysis Abstract, 2013

  • Avoid substrate degradation seen with carbon grids
  • Plasma cleanable to reduce contaminants
  • Large 500 �m windows provide ~50 x 50 �m viewing from any orientation at 70 degrees of tilt for tomography
  • Potential to improve charge dissipation with the goal of reduction in beam-induced movement

Fluid Flow Powered By Less Than One Volt With Our pnc-Si
Collaboration Between Researchers at University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology Leads To Breakthrough in Microfluidics 
 In this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences university researchers and engineers at our parent company, SiMPore Inc. describe their ability to achieve fluid flow in a miniaturized electroosmotic pump with less than a volt of power.  Their findings have important implications for portable diagnostic devices and lab-on-a-chip technologies.
