Stereology for Unbiased Cell Counting

A Stereo Investigator system configured for performing stereology on brightfield and fluorescence specimens.
A typical Stereo Investigator system-- Here configured for performing stereology on brightfield and fluorescence specimens using a fully automated Zeiss AxioImager.

The Stereo Investigator system is designed to help you obtain the most efficient, precise, unbiased, and reliable estimates of cell populations…and morphometric properties of biological structures. Stereo Investigator is the most comprehensive stereology system available.

With Stereo Investigator, the numbers speak for themselves. Stereo Investigator is cited 10 times more often in scientific papers than any other stereology product. source PubMed

Our Stereology Workflow technology is by far the easiest way to learn and regularly perform cell counting with stereology. The Workflow guides you though the optical fractionator with straight-forward precision.

MBF’s reknown support stands behind Stereo Investigator with expert system installation and training, along with expert practical and theoretical stereological advice.

A fully integrated Stereo Investigator system includes a microscope, motorized stage with closed-loop focus control, high resolution digital camera, and PC workstation. Our systems specialists work with you to determine the best configuration for your research needs and budget. MBF’s recommended systems are designed to perform reliably and produce reliable results.

At MBF, we work closely with the leading researchers in the field of quantitative anatomy to produce cutting-edge, highly-effective stereology systems.

Our Stereo Investigator Confocal SD system is the first and only complete system for confocal stereology. Use the power of multi-channel confocal microscopy to count fluorescently labeled cells.
