Bruker Releases First Quantitative Super-Resolution Microscope, Vutara 352

At the 2015 Cell Biology ASCB Annual Meeting, Bruker today announced the release of the first quantitative super-resolution microscope, the Vutara™ 352. The Vutara 352 offers speed, imaging depth, and resolution to deliver significant advantages over competing approaches, now also adding real-time quantitative capabilities. For the first time, this represents an entirely new dimension of functionality in super-resolution microscopy, including the ability to perform pair-correlation, co-location, cluster, and live-cell analysis with super resolution.

Cryo-Electron Tomography Helps Uncover Interior 3D Structure of Cubosomes

Cubosomes are small biological 'capsules' that can deliver molecules of nutrients or drugs with high efficiency. They have a highly symmetrical interior made of tiny cubes of assembled fat molecules similar to the ones in cell membranes. This also means that cubosomes are safe to use in living organisms. Such features have triggered great interest in the pharmaceutical and food industry, who seek to exploit the structure of cubosomes for the controlled release of molecules, improving the delivery of nutrients and drugs.
