Leica’s European Tour comes to IBEC

From Tuesday to Thursday IBEC is the host institution in Spain of Leica’s European Tour 2016, which allows researchers to get hands-on with some of the company’s most cutting-edge microscopes and other equipment.

The technologies being presented and demonstrated at this week’s workshops are the DMi8 inverted microscope with Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) module, their SP8 X Confocal Microscope with WLL and Hybrid Detectors, HyVolution confocal super-resolution imaging, and the Leica TCS SP8 with Digital LightSheet. Researchers are able to test their own samples in these pieces of equipment.

In addition, on 17th-19th May, there will be an opportunity to learn about and test an SPE confocal microscope from Leica. It will be remain at the disposal of IBEC researchers for two weeks.

“We’re delighted to host these workshops, not only to strengthen our collaboration with one of our most important technology suppliers, but also to offer researchers the chance to look at their samples on some of the best equipment on the market,” says David Badia, IBEC’s Managing Director.
