One of 2026’s Captivating Images

Stephanie Le
Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf, Germany

Young cortical organoids imaged in a μ-Slide 8 Well high Glass Bottom show SOX2-positive progenitor cells (red) clustering in proliferative zones, while MAP2-positive neurons (cyan) extend early processes. This image reveals the spatial organization and early differentiation dynamics of the developing human cortex in vitro. Imaging was performed on a Zeiss Axio Observer microscope with a 5x objective.

Abberior in Chinese Society for Cell Biology (中国细胞生物学学会 2026)

Our Principal Abberior Instruments GmbH participated in the 2026 National Academic Conference of the Chinese Society for Cell Biology (中国细胞生物学学会2026年全国学术大会).

The MIRAVA Polyscope was demonstrated in the show room with fully functionalities, including the 2D MINFLUX nanoscale imaging, 3D STED, MATRIX array detection, RAYSHAPE and TRUESHARP imaging.
The Distributors of Abberior Optofem (China), PTC (Hong Kong) and the Abberior team (China).

PTC is the Official Distributor of Pellucid Optics (澄觀光學)

PTC is now the Official Distributor of Pellucid Optics (澄觀光學科技有限公司) in Hong Kong and Macau.

The latest Label-free 3D Volumetric Imaging System: SH-HoloSpect was first displayed in the 2026 National Academic Conference of the Chinese Society for Cell Biology (中国细胞生物学学会2026年全国学术大会).

Pellucid Optics is specialized in Label-Free-Superrsolution Imaging Technology. Their unique Phase Gradient Tomography (PGT) allows layer scanning, up to 140nm lateral and 350nm axial resolution, to render a 3D Volumetric Image.

SH-HoloSpect

  1. Label-free subcellular imaging
    Without the need for complex labeling or staining procedures, subcellular structures such as granules, nuclei, and lipid droplets can be accurately identified based on intrinsic differences in refractive index.
  2. Advanced PGT imaging capabilities
    The new generation of PGT technology supports both 2D and 3D sample imaging. It is compatible with multiple imaging modes, including wide-field fluorescence, spinning-disk confocal multi-module imaging, and high-throughput imaging workflows.
  3. Comprehensive data analysis software
    The included software enables automated collection and analysis of key biophysical parameters, including refractive index, dry mass, velocity, and cellular morphology.
