Leica’s motto — “From Eye to Insight” — perfectly captured the spirit of our recent training and facility tour at the EMBL Imaging Centre in Heidelberg.

Over two immersive days, we explored how cutting-edge imaging technologies go far beyond visualization: they are true drivers of discovery and clinical insight.

We had the opportunity to experience an impressive range of Leica microscopes and learn about their diverse applications:

 ✨ Stellaris Confocal System – delivering high-resolution imaging of complex cellular structures.

💡 Thunder SD – showing how computational clearing can bring clarity back to thick biological samples.

🧬 Viventis Deep – extending the boundaries of 3D tissue imaging.

🧫 Mica – an all-in-one, intuitive microscope that simplifies workflows.

✂ Laser Microdissection (LMD) – enabling precise recovery of single cells for downstream analysis.

🌈 Stellaris DIVE Multiphoton – revealing the power of next-generation deep-tissue and live-sample imaging.

A huge thank you to the Leica Microsystems team for their expertise, enthusiasm, and support throughout the sessions. Truly a great example of science and technology coming together to empower researchers!
