Tissue Imaging Service—Zeiss Axio Scan Z1 Slide Scanner

Depth imaging in tissue is one of the greatest challenges facing optical microscopists. As the depth into the sample progressively increases, scattering and various optical aberrations gradually deteriorate, ultimately placing a practical limit on the possible imaging depths. CD BioSciences can solve your challenges with our advanced equipment and we offer Zeiss Axio Scan Z1 Slide Scanner-based tissue imaging services.
