Nikon is proud to announce that Nikon Instruments Europe/Nikon France recently opened a Center of Excellence in Nantes, France. The new center boasts an A1R-MP resonant scanning confocal/multiphoton system (including FLIM integration), an A1-N-SIM confocal/structured illumination combo system, and two additional A1 systems at the ONIRIS (center for veterinary research) and the Universite de Nantes. We hope these cutting edge imaging platforms will provide investigators in the area the tools they need for their research.
