Frontiers in Imaging: celebrating the EMBI-ZEISS partnership on volumeEM

Join us to celebrate our capabilities in VolumeEM and our new Labs@Location partnership in a groundbraking inauguration event. VolumeEM technology unveils the ultrastructure of biological samples in 3D, capturing details from micrometer to millimeter volumes at nanometer resolution. Discover the diverse methods that enable successful volumetric imaging of cells and tissues, and learn how to analyze these results effectively. VolumeEM can be enhanced by correlative workflow through the use of light and 3D X-Ray microscopes, offering a comprehensive approach to imaging
