Recommend Papers. Try supporting the camera in a harness made of the heavy nylon or rubber bungee cords used by motorcyclists and truck drivers.
- Featured Technology. Office Multifunction Devices with Expanded Functionality. Turning Office multifunction devices into the cornerstone of smart offices that utilize big data.
- It offers high data transmission speeds (up to 10Mbit/s), and as it uses a differential balanced line over twisted pair (like RS-422), it can span relatively large distances (4000 feet or 1200 meters). RS-485 only specifies the electrical characteristics of the driver and the receiver. It does not specify or recommend any data protocol.
We’re happy to announce that we’ve updated our article on Single-Molecule Super-Resolution Imaging. This article now contains an in-depth discussion of sample preparation, including near-comprehensive tables listing known fluorescent probes and buffer systems for single molecule localization microscopies.
