The Advanced BioImaging Facility (ABIF) has integrated a brand new LSM 800 microscope from Zeiss into the facility.
Featuring convenient and user-friendly software complete with custom-made shortcut buttons for experiment repetition as well as diode lasers for fast start-up and beautiful images.
In times of environmental decline, scientific innovation must be implemented to replace old and inefficient technology. This can lead to positive academic, economic and environmental impacts. Fluorescence microscopy is a key element in many aspects of research throughout the physical, life and health sciences. Microscopes are found in virtually all research institutes, universities, hospitals, biotechnology companies and pharmaceutical companies.
