Just back from an intense/incredibly productive trip to Oberkochen @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social testing out the Lightfield4D & LSM990 microsystems. Completely being blown away by their speed & resolution.
The range/capabilities of the systems on show at Zeiss customer care centre is overwhelming.

🧫🔬 Life at the microscopic level!
This fascinating image of bacteria was captured using a scanning electron microscope at our Cellular Analysis Facility. The high-resolution detail reveals the intricate shapes and surface structures of these tiny organisms that play vital roles in ecosystems
