CARL ZEISS MICROIMAGING UNVEILS AXIOVISION ASSAYBUILDER.Carl Zeiss
Carl Zeiss (September 11, 1816 – December 3, 1888) was an optician commonly known for the company he founded, Zeiss. MicroImaging, Inc. has unveiled a new technology that delivers high content analyses to research microscopes. The product ASSAYbuilder is a suite of next generation High Content Analyses (HCA HCA, n.pr See acid, hydroxycitric. ) tools that can be added to any microscope with a digital imaging package including AxioVision. For the first time, any researcher can upgrade their ZEISS microscope to an HCA system at a fraction of the price of existing high content screening systems. High content screening has accelerated drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry for years. Leveraging the power of research microscopy for high content analyses promises to enable precise assay development and hit qualification for the screening community, while reducing the access cost for academics that need greater flexibility when imaging and analyzing biological targets. "We are excited about pairing High Content Analyses with high resolution imaging, confocal microscopy Confocal microscopy is an optical imaging technique used to increase micrograph contrast and/or to reconstruct three-dimensional images by using a spatial pinhole to eliminate out-of-focus light or flare in specimens that are thicker than the focal plane. , and advanced digital imaging modalities," stated Martin L. Pietila, associate product manager for High Content Analysis at Carl Zeiss. "Bridging research microscopy and screening constitutes a continuum of technology in the biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1.

By leveraging our experience with the Thermo Scientific Cellomics product line we have matched the best in class imaging with the best in class high content analysis technology," stated James A.
