SiMPore and TEMwindows.com exhibit and present at Microscopy & Microanalysis in Nashville, TN
August 7-11, 2011
Join us as SiMPore exhibits its Pure Silicon, Silicon Nitride, and Silicon Oxide TEM window grids at this year's M & M conference in Nashville.
SiMPore TEM window grids can be found at TEMWindows.com.
SiMPore has expanded its life-sciences product line by offering Microporous CytoVu® with 8 micron pores
Appealing to researchers that use large cell types, SiMPore has developed a membrane for its CytoVu® imaging slides that contains pores that are 8 µm in size. These membranes were conceived as a result of customer feedback at the annual AACR conference, one of the premiere meetings for cancer research in the world. SiMPore engineers immediately set to work to create a robust product with larger pores.
Just 1 month later, SiMPore is proud to announce that we are now offering Microporous CytoVu® with 8 µm pores as a standard product that complements our existing 3 µm and 50 nm pore imaging slides. Initial user feedback has been extremely positive and we look forward to conitinuing to incorporate our customers' needs into our product line. At SiMPore, we are a company of scientists and engineers that strives to be an invaluable part of our customers' scientific process.

SiMPore has developed numerous basal well depths, further increasing CytoVu's® compatibility with microscopes
In order to provide the customer with more opportunities in their research, SiMPore has developed CytoVu® imaging slides with multiple basal well depth formats. Now available in 100 µm, 300 µm, or 1000 µm, CytoVu® gives researchers the ability to use high magnification objectives with short working distances.
The smallest basal well depth allows researchers to use extremely high magnification objectives or confocal microscopes to get extremely high quality images of their cultured cells. The largest basal well depth maintains the image quality at a lower magnification and lets researchers use higher volumes.

SiMPore has developed new TEMwindow grids; 5 nm Silicon Nitride, and holey Microporous Silicon Nitride
We are now offering 5 nm thick silicon nitride TEMwindow grids in two formats: our classic 9 windows and a new single 25 x 25 micron window. These window grids are surprisingly robust and have supported over 30 psi and 50 psi, respectively. Our new 5 nm Silicon Nitride is the thinnest Silicon Nitride membrane currently available and is a perfect complement for our 5 nm pure Silicon, and the rest of our ultrathin membrane TEMwindow rids.
We have also just launched a new holey Microporous Silicon Nitride TEMwindow grid. The window size is 500 x 500 microns with 2 micron holes on 1:1 pitch. We have patterned a gridding system so it's easier to keep track of which region you are imaging between tools. You will find these grids are also quite robust, only slightly weaker than our standard 50 nm thick silicon nitride. Microporous Silicon Nitride TEMwindow grids are highly useful for CryoEM and biological applications, as well as for getting background-free imaging of suspended samples.
