Product news

This meeting brings together food researchers and those working in the food industry who are interested in the microstructure of food.

Subjects covered will include characterisation of structures related to food processing and formulation, identifying microflora and ingredients, and instrumentation for new and existing exploration in this field.

INVITED SPEAKERS AND THE TITLES OF THEIR TALKS

Dr Bettina Wolf, University of Nottingham - Food microstructures: processing, properties, behaviour. How food structuring changes perception

Dr Chris Wright, University of Swansea - Correlation microscopy: molecular probe & confocal in polymers

Dr Pieter Verboven, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven - InsideFood: novel technologies for food microstructure measurement

Mr Gerard Van Dalen, Research and Development Unilever Vlaardingen - Multi-modal imaging and quantitative analysis of food microstructures

Dr Deirdre Kennedy, Teagasc Food Research Centre - Making and breaking food under the microscope: dairy applications

Professor Peter Wilde, Institute of Food Research - Interfacial and colloidal aspects of lipid digestion

The meeting includes a trade exhibition.

The Scientific Organisers of the meeting are Jean-Yves Mugnier (RSSL) and Christopher Parmenter (Nottingham).

Focus on Food is being held at the University of Reading on the 21st May 2013. Register today at http://www.rms.org.uk/events/Forthcoming_Events/focusfood

Food and Beverage AnalyzersFood and Beverage Analyzers are commonly used to provide information about the chemical composition, structure and physical properties of food materials.Light MicroscopyLight microscopes or optical microscopes are used to visualize microscale objects under magnification, including cells, clinical specimens and materials. Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples. Find the best light microscopes in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ImagingImaging techniques are essential for obtaining visual representations of samples to understand structures, processes, and function in biological, chemical, and physical research. These tools range from traditional light microscopy to advanced imaging modalities like MRI and electron microscopy, providing researchers with valuable data for diagnostics, drug discovery, and material analysis.
