ZEISS and Arivis AG Partner to Provide Leading 3D Imaging Systems
New microscopy technologies, such as light sheet fluorescence microscopy, or clearing methods, allow the imaging of large samples at high resolution or high frame rates. Handling, processing, and analyzing these multi-terabyte data sets has become increasingly difficult for scientists, for example, in developmental biology and neuroscience. New tools are needed to overcome these challenges. ZEISS has teamed up with Arivis to offer complete solutions from initial image acquisition to final results.

New Report: Less Time Preparing Biological Samples
Leica's new application report addresses how automated serial sectioning with the new ARTOS 3D ultramicrotome can help optimize the array tomography imaging workflow. In this application, the goal was to investigate the complex 3D organization of the paracortical conduit system of mouse popliteal lymph nodes using array tomography. To achieve the best results, uniform, ordered arrays of serial sections are needed, but preparing the sections can be challenging and time-consuming.
