Our ARTOS 3D ultramicrotome produces consistent, ultrathin serial sections for array tomography in less time. But will it also work for the resin-embedded samples that you are typically using? Now you have the chance to challenge us and see for yourself! We’ll give your samples the special ARTOS treatment for free. Sign up today for one of the 50 slots available for free sample preparation. More: http://ow.ly/QfhR30nIrPf

The new ZEISS Axio Observer family for metallurgy and materials imaging is fast, flexible, and economic: Take advantage of Axio Observer’s inverted construction to investigate a large number of samples in no time at all – or to explore heavy ones, just as efficiently. There’s no need to refocus, even when changing magnification or switching samples. www.zeiss.com/axioobserver-mat

A BHF study funded by your donations has found a gene that is linked to an increased risk of heart disease in women.

Called BCAR1, the gene is involved in many processes in the body that are affected by the female hormone oestrogen. Researchers believe that a high risk version of the gene, when combined with a woman’s naturally occurring high oestrogen levels, could lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

The discovery coincides with the launch of our new Research Strategy, through which we are aiming to raise over half a billion pounds towards life saving heart and circulatory research over the next five years.

These findings reflect the urgent need for more research to better understand the causes of heart disease so that scientists can develop new ways to prevent the disease from developing.

Passion and attention to details. Here in we look for perfection in every sun lens we produce. She is Sabrina and she makes sure that each ZEISS sun lens is perfect, because what matters for us is that your eyes are protected - but mostly that can enjoy every detail of the wonderful world that is surrounding us!

The German Society for Cell Biology (DGZ) and ZEISS Microscopy jointly presented the Carl Zeiss Lecture award 2015 to Professor Magdalena Goetz, Head of the Institute for Stem Cell Research at the Helmholtz Center Munich and Head of LMU Department of Physiological Genomics, Munich, Germany. The Carl Zeiss Lecture award recognizes outstanding research in cell biology with groundbreaking methods in light and electron microscopy.
