We are thrilled to announce the incorporation of 4 new pieces of equipment to the MicRoN Core:
- Casper, our LifeCanvas SmartBatch Clearing and Staining device with Radiant Hardware for high abundance markers (available now!!): Active clearing for large and small samples. This device is upgraded with Radiant Hardware to improve staining of high abundance targets. This will help with batch processing of samples and to enhance reproducibility in the clearing method across samples.
- Megalodon, LifeCanvas MegaSPIM lightsheet microscope (INSTALLED AND READY TO USE!). SPIM lightsheet for a wide range of cleared tissues.
- Hydra, MicRoN local server for storage and remote data processing and analysis (ETA August 2024). We aim to speed up data transfer, processing and analysis.
- St SIMon "The Holey" STEDycon add-on for SIMon super-resolution (ETA end of the year): SIMon got a major upgrade to add STED, and its name will change to SIMon the "Holey" as a result. We will be able to improve resolution down to 30-40 nm laterally.
