August 2011 Issue of R&D Magazine

This month's issue focuses on microscopy. Despite competition, the light microscope remains the most important instrument in the laboratory. And it's quickly evolving. The issue also looks at how companies are changing the way they organize their R&D functions and train staff for imaging applications and how confocal Raman imaging expands the possibilities for measuring large-scale samples. Other features include information on how simulation tools can answer design questions and take some of the mystery and risk out of R&D and how analysts focus on publication and citation data to reveal the size and structure of materials science research globally.
