The origin of NSPARC is in the IIT (Italian Institute of Technology). We interviewed Professor Alberto Diaspro, Dr. Paolo Bianchini, and Dr. Giuseppe Vicidomini, who worked on research and development at the Nikon Imaging Center and the Molecular Microscopy and Spectroscopy Lab in the IIT.

NSPARC enables super-high-speed scanning with unprecedented high resolution for observation and acquisition of images, showing even the slightest of changes in living cells. Its developers spoke of their ambitious challenge of aiming higher.

O sistema de microscópio confocal AX/AX R é projetado para permitir que qualquer pessoa personalize livremente de acordo com seu uso. Para saber mais, falamos com os responsáveis ​​pelo planejamento e design de produtos sobre as histórias por trás de como eles buscavam a operabilidade do software, bem como melhorias no desempenho do hardware.
