Notice Information

Notice Title

N-Storm Confocal super resolution system upgrade

Notice Description

Here we intend to upgrade the laser bed on the N-STORM component as per their recommendation. We also will separate the A1-Confocal from the N-STORM system as it is possible to split the two up. This will give us two high specification systems. Our current system is very heavily used so we are upgrading the system in this way to obtain best research value from it.
