Software wins Innovation Award

Multiphoton laser scanning microscopy software developed by Scientifica has been judged as one of the ten best innovations in the 2016 Microscopy Today Innovation Awards.

The award was presented to Scientifica on 27 July during the Microscopy & Microanalysis meeting in Columbus, Ohio, for the development of SciScan, a free, open-source, LabVIEW-based software for controlling two-photon laser scanning experiments. It can be used to control and acquire data from both galvanometer and resonant laser scanning microscopes and the Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides control over all the features commonly found in LSM software.  

Scientifica’s Managing Director, Keith Watson, said: “Scientifica is honoured to receive this award from Microscopy Today for our SciScan multiphoton imaging software. We are dedicated to supporting leading researchers around the world in their quest to unlock the secrets of life, and SciScan has been designed and built in close collaboration with those researchers to help them achieve this.Our software development team, led by Dr Bruno Pichler, are very pleased to receive the award in recognition of the contribution SciScan continues to make for science.”
