Description:

Leica Microsystems is proud to announce the release of a new class of instruments—THUNDER Imaging Systems. They use Computational Clearing, a disruptive new method developed by Leica, to remove out-of-focus blur, and produce brilliant, haze-free images on a widefield microscope. You can learn more about this technology here.

To introduce THUNDER Imagers to the Stanford research community, Leica will be hosting a Workshop on March 26 – April 4. The workshop will open with a Lunch and Learn Seminar, and will be followed by hands-on demonstrations on the THUNDER Model Organism Imager and THUNDER 3D Tissue Imager. More information can be found below. Please contact Olga Davydenko (olga.davydenko@leica-microsystems.com) with any questions.
