Neurobiology Imaging Service—Leica SPE Confocal Microscope

Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field involving the study of the structure and function of the nervous system. It aims to understand the development of cognitive and behavioral processes, as well as to understand various diseases (such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease) and find treatments for them. Neuroscientists often need to use microscopy to study challenging and complex samples to better understand the nervous system. CD BioSciences offers a comprehensive range of Leica SPE Confocal Microscope-based imaging solutions to enable you to overcome these challenges.
