Lou Solebello, Senior Analyst/Microscopist at iATL has secured the front cover for his recent article in The Microscope (Volume 58). The article is a continuation of recent research that Mr. Solebello has conducted and presented previously at the 2010 ASTM Beard Conference and at InterMicro in 2010. Lou's involvement in ASTM D22.07 (Asbestos Sampling and Analysis) underscores his professional ...
Modern microscopes use in-built magnification scales for routine calibration. However, recent advances in high-resolution technologies and a clear shift towards more automated systems challenge the accuracy of such scales for quantitative measurements. Demand for traceability, which accompanies improved technologies, is driving the need for standard specimens or materials that can precisely ...
September means the start of another school year. It’s during their time at school that most scientists first found their interest in the field, and practical experiments are often the best way to bring science to life for students of all ages. So find your seats, eyes front and has everyone got a lab partner? Lets run through our favourite school science experiments… 1. Flame ...
