About Microscopy & Microanalysis 2018
The largest microscopy/microanalysis instrument exhibition in the world. Plan to visit the more than 100 companies displaying their latest technology and services. The social activities of the opening reception, and daily “happy hours” accompanying each day’s poster and awards sessions, have become “can’t-miss” events of learning and fellowship
We are very excited to be attending SemiCon west 2018 in San Francisco, CA July 10-12. Come visit with us at the ABB booth #2217.
Talys Near-IR Process Monitoring System
About ABB
Since 1973, ABB Measurement & Analytics enables scientist to perform through excellence in infrared spectroscopy. Its portfolios of high performance laboratory, at-line and process FT-IR/FT-NIR analyzers have addressed a wide variety of applications offering turnkey solutions for Petroleum, Chemical, Life Sciences, Semiconductor, Academic, Metallurgy, OEM and Remote Sensing/Space markets. Our spectrometers perform real-time analysis of the chemical composition and/or physical properties of a process sample stream. In the Semiconductor industry, ABB wet process analyzers allow real-time end-of-bath alerts, prevent excursion events, enable effective bath dosing and reduce chemical cost by increasing bath lifetime and reducing waste. Also, Los Gatos Research (LGR), a member of the ABB Group since 2013, has been developing innovative laser-based measurement strategies for non-destructive analyses of gases and liquids.LGR, we create the world’s highest performing instruments for leading-edge research, industrial process monitoring and control, air quality and emissions monitoring, greenhouse gas measurements and isotopic measurements.
About SEMICON West
Three days of presentations with more than 80+ hours of technical and business programming, plus hundreds of exhibitors provide the insights, innovations, and intelligence you need to get ahead and embrace today’s disruptive landscape.
From materials, equipment, design, manufacturing, system integration, and demand channels to new verticals and adjacencies such as Flexible Hybrid Electronics, MEMS & Sensors, you’ll gain access to the best in the business and get a glimpse at what’s next. Immersive, new experiences demonstrating hot-buttons like Smart Transportation, Smart Manufacturing, MedTech, Big Data, IoT, and the cognitive technologies that are transforming the world make this year’s Expo like no other before.
We had the first North American MicroSupport Users Meeting on Thursday, May 10th at Argonne National Laboratory. This was an opportunity to hear about how users have been using their MicroSupport system, to learn about new developments coming down the road, and to share experiences and techniques.
Here are some highlights from the event:
Vitali Prakapenka
Our host Vitali showed off GSECARS can create conditions equivalent to the pressure-temperature range of the Earth’s deep interior. The center of the process is the Diamond Anvil (in gray below) MicroSupport’s Axis Pro micromanipulator is a key tool in loading this cell for high-pressure studies.
Here Vitali is illustrating the size of the culet that is the target of our operation and how smaller culets enable measurements at higher pressure compared to larger culets of the past.
Christopher Snead
NASA curator Cristopher Snead encounters astromaterials of all sizes. Due to the cost and difficulty of these missions, the samples must be handled with great care and delicacy. The MicroSupport Axis Pro micromanipulator enables handling of these samples – the capabilities of the Axis Pro to operate inside a glovebox is critical for future NASA astromaterial work.
Ross Hrubiak
Ross works at HP-CAT and provided an overview of all the services that the lab has available along with information on where their line is located on the synchrotron.
Steve Barnett
Steve provided an overview of major tools available with the Axis Pro system and had important news about upcoming enhancements for the Micromanipulator including a new version of the operating compatible with windows 10.
Announcements for Micromanipulator
New higher resolution camera. This will allow for magnifications above 3200X.
New operating software. The new software operates under Windows 10.
New User Interface (UI). The whole UI is changing to improve the experience. This includes placing your working image in the center of the screen and moving some menues to the sides.
Navigation Map. The Navigation Map is now extended to allow for tiling a 10 x 10 set of images to provide a larger area for visual imaging..
Workshop
After a quick pizza/salad lunch, we moved to the Building where HP-CAT and GSECRS are located. In this building, we had three systems set up in different locations where attendees could learn different techniques and try out different tools that were available.
Overall this was a highly successful event and we are hoping to have a similar Users Meeting in 2019.

About MRS
The 2018 MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit is the key forum to present research to an interdisciplinary and international audience. It provides a window on the future of materials science, and offers an opportunity for researchers—from students and postdoctoral fellows, to Nobel and Kavli Prize Laureates—to exchange technical information and network with colleagues.
We will be demonstrating the Microsupport Axis Pro micromanipulator at the Golden Gate Polymer Forum Two-Day Short Course: Failure Analysis of Plastics onMarch 5 and 6, 2018
This two-day day short course, presented by recognized experts from The Madison Group, is based on their annual course “Plastic Part Failure: Analysis, Design and Prevention” given at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. Attendees will gain a better understanding of basic principles that affect the durability and failure of plastic parts. As these speakers like to say “if you don’t know how something broke, you can’t fix it,” highlighting the importance of a thorough understanding of how and why a product has failed. With emphasis on practical problem-solving techniques, the course will utilize case studies to comprehend key aspects of plastic failure and prevention. Gain a better understanding of why plastic components fail, and how to avoid future failures by applying the knowledge learned. The combination of excellent speakers, a convenient location in the Bay Area, an affordable price, and focus on practical applications makes this an exceptional opportunity.
