In keeping with our tradition, we participated with a running team in this year's Göttinger Altstadtlauf.
The great atmosphere carried the runners and helped them defy the extremely high temperatures🔥, so that all starters reached the finish line safe, sound, and in great mood.👟💪

Looking back at an exciting #MMC2025 at the booth of our UK partner @photonLines. We brought our MIRAVA POLYSCOPE, the one-for-all microscope to image at any scale from millimeters down to 3 nanometers.

All you need is a microscope stand – and our #STEDYCON.
Then it hardly takes longer than a F1 pit stop, and you can move into high gear with a refurbished confocal & STED microscope!

Multicolor STED the easy way:
A single 775 nm #STED laser was used to visualize this cell’s nuclear pore complex (🟪CF680R), golgi (🟦STAR RED), and actin (🟨STAR ORANGE) in superresolution. 😎

Our MIRAVA is the first true POLYSCOPE.
It unites four microscopy technologies to cover an unprecedented resolution spectrum, extending over orders of magnitude from diffraction-limited imaging all the way to true molecular resolution.

Standard #deconvolution relies on a-priori assumptions that may artifacts.
#TRUESHARP image boosting is better:
It incorporates measured information from the image to reliably remove noise and background & enhance resolution without falsification.

✨ Our abberior FLUX Dyes are brilliant for MINFLUX – and shine in STORM too!

1) Confocal image + MINFLUX zoom of a peroxisomal membrane protein
2) STORM image of the same target

Ready to push resolution limits across techniques. Want to try them?
