The Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IIT H) and Nikon India, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nikon Corporation have unveiled the ‘Nikon Centre of Excellence'(CoE) at the IIT Hyderabad campus to provide advanced imaging technologies to trainees, visiting scholars, and collaborators across the country.
The initiative aims to empower researchers to explore biological systems at various scales — from single cells to human tissues — facilitating breakthroughs in high-resolution imaging.
It also houses a Nikon inverted microscope Ti2-E for fluorescence imaging, a Nikon TS2FL inverted tissue culture microscope, and a Nikon SMZ 800 with a fluorescence attachment for macro imaging.
Leveraging its extensive resources, technical expertise, and experienced staff, the Centre at IIT Hyderabad will address critical challenges in cell biology and other research areas, promoting innovative studies across a range of scientific disciplines, as mentioned in the press release.
Prof B S Murty, Director of IIT Hyderabad, added, “It gives us great pleasure to collaborate with Nikon India in establishing this CoE. This initiative aligns perfectly with our goal of fostering innovative research and diverse learning opportunities. In various academic and research domains, the Centre will act as a catalyst, inspiring our researchers and students to push the boundaries of what is possible.
