Microscope Imaging Service—Zeiss 980 AiryScan2

Confocal microscopy is an optical imaging technique that uses point-by-point illumination and spatial pinhole modulation to remove scattered light from the non-focal plane of the sample, allowing for improved optical resolution and visual contrast compared to traditional imaging methods. CD BioSciences, the imaging experts, can provide you with Zeiss 980 AiryScan2-based confocal microscopy imaging services.
