Biological systems imaging and automated sample analysis

Advanced imaging technologies create possibilities for increasingly deeper understanding of the microscopic world. Techniques such as light sheet fluorescence microscopy will permit 3D analysis of dynamic cell processes such as embryonic development and the replication of viruses within cells. Orion will also have equipment available for intravital microscopy, in which cells are observed in vivo, permitting real-time analysis of disease progression in biosafety environments. Technologies that permit rapid analysis of large quantities of samples and data through image acquisition and high-throughput screening will also be available, adding agility to the research conducted at Orion.
