Stereo Investigator Value Package

The Most Affordable Way to Get Unbiased Stereological Data

Obtaining credible data doesn't have to be expensive. The Stereo Investigator Value Package helps researchers on a limited budget get statistically valid estimates of the number, length, area, and volume of cells or biological structures in a tissue specimen.

This package comes with Stereo Investigator software, which is cited in over 8,000 published research papers, and the same renowned technical and research support from the experts at MBF. To ensure you get up and running quickly and smoothly with your new system, one of our staff scientists or microscopy experts will travel to your lab to install the system and train lab members on how to use it.
