Last week, we trained the new #MIRAVAPOLYSCOPE at Crick Advanced Light Microscopy (CALM) Facility in London together with PHOTON LINES🔬. It was great to explore and train the system together with Rocco D'Antuono and Rosalind Norkett. Happy Imaging with the new MIRAVA!

Nuclear pore complexes stained for Mab414 with abberior STAR 680🟦, ELYS with abberior STAR RED🟥, and Nup96 with abberior STAR ORANGE🟨. STED clearly resolves individual nuclear pore complexes in three colors. Image quality is enhanced using our #TRUESHARP deconvolution. #fluorescencefriday

A new chapter for #super-resolution #microscopy in #Hamburg: abberior Instruments and the UMIF Facility at #UKE are establishing a new Reference Center at UKE. Join us for the opening on November 10, with talks from Nobel laureate Prof. Hell, Prof. Lechner & Prof. Meyer-Schwesinger.

The UK’s Rosalind Franklin Institute publicly unveiled its new STED microscope from abberior. Researchers there will use the microscope to better understand how cells in the gut behave and learn more about chronic health conditions. We are proud to support their research!

We were delighted to welcome the Minister for Science, Investment and Technology last week to celebrate the Franklin's plans for the next 5 years.

3D spheroids better reflect tumor tissue complexity than monolayer cultures. Overview, single spheroid, and STED detail labeled with abberior #STAR dyes, imaged on the MIRAVA Polyscope. #Spheroids #STED #STARdyes #abberior #ibidi

“Deeper imaging” is not a single optical problem. Choosing the right technique means understanding what degrades the image with depth—and when aberration correction is needed. Learn more about confocal vs. multi-photon microscopy: abberior.rocks/knowledge-ba...

Nuclear pore complexes labelled for NUP96🟥 and Mab414🟦, imaged from confocal to high-power STED. Each imaging mode reveals progressively finer structural details. One sample, multiple imaging modes - with the #MIRAVAPolyscope. #fluorescencefriday

Why does confocal microscopy look clearer than wide-field imaging? It’s not just resolution — it’s about rejecting out-of-focus fluorescence. Learn how optical sectioning improves contrast and how array detection can reduce background even further: abberior.rocks/knowledge-ba...

Meet our #STEDYCON at NeuroFly in Cologne🔬. Super-resolution microscopy doesn’t have to be complicated. Stop by our booth and experience how easily STEDYCON brings confocal, STED and FLIM imaging into everyday research — even for challenging tissue samples. Come by and see STEDYCON live in action!

We had the pleasure of hosting hands-on workshops at Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, together with #PTC International. Researchers labeled live and fixed samples, imaged at the microscope, and explored the principles behind the techniques. #Workshop

#IMC 2026 starts today! 🔬 We’re excited to be in Liverpool for the 21st International Microscopy Congress — and we brought #MIRAVA with us! Come by booth 317 and experience MIRAVA POLYSCOPE live. See how advanced microscopy can take you across scales — from overview imaging to super-resolution.

Lovely Friday 💜 This unusually heart-shaped nucleus is surrounded by TOM20-labelled mitochondria🟧 and the actin cytoskeleton ⬜, while Mab414-labelled nuclear pore complexes🟪 and NUP96-GFP🟦 reveal the nuclear pore distribution. #fluorescencefriday

Join us on Tuesday, Aug. 25th -- Northwestern University will host a talk by Prof. Stefan Hell, 2014 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. 📅 Tues., Aug. 25 | 4:30–5:30pm CT 📍 In-Person: 303 E. Superior St., Rm 1-133 💻 Online: lnkd.in/ejqYc3Pw Meeting ID: 950 8892 3955

🏆STEDYCON2 is a 2026 Microscopy Today Innovation Award winner! Recognized for "combining multicolor STED and phasor-based FLIM in an alignment-free, browser-controlled platform". Proud to see STEDYCON Product Manager Dennis Uhlenkamp accept the award at Microscopy & Microanalysis 2026 in Milwaukee.🔬

At abberior, we share one passion: creating the best possible images for our customers. We develop advanced super-resolution microscopes for cutting-edge research worldwide. 👉 Explore our open positions in electronics/mechatronics, chemical lab work, and purchasing: abberior.rocks/company/vaca...

When samples get thicker, wide-field microscopy collects out-of-focus fluorescence that blurs detail. Confocal microscopy uses a pinhole to reject this background, enabling optical sectioning and clearer 3D interpretation. abberior.rocks/knowledge-ba...

Cellular architecture in real time! Simultaneous multi-color STED live imaging with abberior LIVE 460L actin, LIVE 590 tubulin and LIVE RED DNA. #LiveCellImaging #Cytoskeleton #DNA #STED

Resolution is often just one number, but measuring it reliably is trickier. PSF width is common, but noise, labeling density, photon statistics & structure size all affect it, especially in superresolution imaging. Learn More: abberior.rocks/knowledge-ba...

Every imaging modality depends on one thing: a fluorophore you can rely on. Same sample, different techniques - STED, confocal, spinning disk, SIM - all with abberior STAR dyes. Designed for STED, reliable across modalities. #STARdyes #STED #abberior

A larger image is not necessarily a more detailed image. Magnification and more pixels make an image bigger, but they can't recover details the optical system never resolved. Learn how superresolution microscopy overcomes the diffraction barrier: abberior.rocks/knowledge-ba...

Sydney Microscopy & Microanalysis welcomed a delegation from Abberior – the leading provider of super-resolution & molecular imaging – to our light laser optical facilities. It was a great opportunity to explore future opportunities as part of our international networking efforts. @abberior.rocks
