The post Visit MBF Bioscience at Booth 2235 at SfN 2018 in San Diego appeared first on MBF Bioscience.

Come see our innovative new system that includes a high-speed, 4-channel laser confocal scanner for fast confocal whole slide imaging in both 2D and 3D. It is creating a new paradigm for big data image acquisition and analysis. You simply will not believe the slide scanning speed we will be demonstrating for confocal imaging.

Curious about new technologies for microvasculature analysis? Come and discover Vesselucida.

Tired of using a printed brain atlas and wish there was an easier way to identify the brain anatomy on your sections? Imagine technology that can automatically identify the anatomical region on your sections by just clicking on it! Come see our new automatic brain mapping technology that matches serial sections of mouse brain to the Allen Brain Atlas.

Visit us at booth #1637 to see the latest advancements in quantitative neuroscience research and learn how our “End-To-End” solutions for Image Acquisition – Image Management – Image Analyses will revolutionize the way you make your next discovery.

If you’ve visited our booth at SfN before, you know how busy we can be.  If you’d like to schedule an appointment to reserve the time to meet with us that works best for you, just use this online form.  Or just stop by to see us for a personalized demonstration of any of our software or imaging systems.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
