The VaHeat system is an advanced precision temperature control unit specifically devised for integration with optical microscopes. This innovative system provides localized heating with direct temperature sensing right within the sample volume, making it indispensable for analyzing temperature-sensitive processes in life sciences and materials research. The VAHEAT employs Smart Substrates, which incorporate a transparent thin-film heating element and an integrated temperature probe, to ensure accurate temperature control as low as 0.01°C rms. With heating rates of up to 100°C/s and a range extendable up to 200°C, it supports a myriad of research applications. Notably, it maintains thermal stability with no drifts or vibrations and is highly compatible with all commercial microscopes, removing the need for additional setup modifications. Its modular, standalone design allows usage without altering the optical setup, maintaining the optimal thermal environment within the field of view for high-resolution imaging.

QuScite introduces an innovative waveguide-based total internal reflection microscopy system, setting a new standard for fluorescence and dark-field measurements. This system enhances imaging capabilities by providing pure TIRF illumination without epi-fluorescence contamination, and it allows the capture of TIRF images over a considerable area of 16 mm². Designed for compatibility with various imaging systems, it achieves a superior signal-to-noise ratio, increasing contrast and resolution by decoupling excitation from the detection pathway. This approach improves localization precision, reduces phototoxicity and bleaching rates, and enables efficient use in live cell imaging or single-molecule assays. QuScite is a user-friendly, plug-and-play solution that integrates seamlessly into multiple microscope configurations, requiring no manual alignment. Utilizing proprietary waveguide technology to create an evanescent field, QuScite accommodates a broad range of scientific applications with its automated light source integration, exceptional field homogeneity, and scalability across different objective configurations.
