3D STED S10 Award


The ICI has been awarded an S10 HEI equipment grant for a fully equipped 3D STED system by Abberior. This cutting edge latest generation STED system opens up new resolution capabilities with the ease of confocal imaging.

We extend our thanks to the list of users and groups that took part in the two STED demos in previous years.  Working with groups from both demo sessions (both Leica STED-3X and Abberior easy3D STED) we formed a large S10 HEI proposal (10 major and 2 minor user groups) which we were lucky enough to get an impact score of 12.  Again, a huge thanks to all those that worked with us on the proposal.

Facility Line system has many streamlined features for a core facility compared to the Expert Line system we demoed.

The $1M award brings the latest STED technology from Abberior.  Their latest Facility Line system brings auto-alignment and ultra user friendly interface, making this the easiest and most sensitive STED super resolution.
