We’re thrilled to announce the upgrade of the Nikon Imaging Centre at King’s! Join us as we unveil 3 cutting-edge systems that will revolutionise the world of microscopy and learn how these advances can support your research.

•  AX R MP with NSPARC - Multiphoton confocal microscope allowing for visualisation of fine structures deep within living organisms at high speeds due to the 2k resolution resonant scanner featured in the AX.
• ECLIPSE Ji - Smart Imaging System, Research Microscope Power in a Benchtop Assay Instrument
• AX R confocal with NSPARC - Single-photon sensitivity and array detection extend the capabilities of the AX system by revealing unseen details in every image, while array detection pushes the boundaries of resolution beyond the theoretical limits.
