July gave us a great reason to celebrate: we welcomed a valuable new addition to our equipment lineup—the Axioscan 7 slide scanning microscope. This high-speed scanner, designed for fluorescence, brightfield, and polarization imaging, brings both advanced capabilities and a touch of futuristic charm with its glowing slide loading racks. Beyond its striking appearance, the Axioscan 7 is set to become an essential tool for many of our lab’s growing projects. To get started, our team received in-depth training from Zeiss representatives, and we are excited to begin generating high-resolution images with this powerful instrument.
