What New Trends Are Influencing The Automated Microscopy Market?
Leading firms in the automated microscopy market are innovating their product line with cutting-edge items such as automated Cryo PFIB (Cryo-Plasma focused ion beam) microscopes. These devices are designed to increase workflow productivity, maximize time savings, and advance various applications. The Automated Cryo-PFIB microscope, a type of cryo-plasma focused ion beam (cryo-PFIB) microscope, is especially effective for the high-speed production of cryo-lamellae for cellular cryo-electron tomography. As an illustration, in August 2022, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a biotechnology firm based in the United States, introduced the automated Cryo PFIB with a view to optimize cellular cryo-electron tomography studies by effectively preparing cryo-lamellae. This ground-breaking technology facilitates high-grade cryo lamella preparation for cryo tomography and volume imaging of biological specimens, thereby augmenting the scope of microscopy in the fields of life sciences and research. The technique focuses on generating top-quality, consistently thick samples while reducing the risk of sample contamination. Notable features include plasma FIB (Focused Ion Beam) technology for swiftly eradicating large sample volumes and providing fast access to biologically significant areas, coupled with automation functions to simplify sample preparation and support remote operation.
