Biological Imaging Service—AxioScan.Z1

Biological imaging is an important research tool for understanding tissue structure and elucidating the various physiological functions of living organisms. It uses light or electron microscopy to obtain direct images of the microstructure of biological cells and tissues, and the resulting images are analyzed to understand the various physiological processes of biological cells. CD BioSciences' Bioimaging Centre has dozens of devices and, more importantly, our expertise and experience are invaluable to the industries and clients we serve. We can provide AxioScan. Z1-based bioimaging services.

Summary

Zeiss AxioScan.Z1 Slide Scanner: an automated slide scanner for fluorescence, brightfield or polarization microscopy. A software wizard guides users through profile development for automated tissue detection, focusing, and scanning. The system can load up to 100 slides and image them using pre-configured profiles without supervision.

In recent years, with the development of optical imaging technology, especially the introduction of digital imaging and computer image analysis, bioimaging has become an indispensable method in cell biology research. CD BioSciences' bioimaging laboratory is committed to providing state-of-the-art technical support to our customers. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us.
