An exciting breakthrough in live cell microscopy will soon be available to biotech and other life scientists in the form of a new microscope that is to be marketed by a Swiss startup company.

Nanolive SA (Lausanne, Switzerland) has begun taking pre-orders for its revolutionary 3D Cell Explorer microscope system. This microscope is described as delivering true live cell tomography through the use of completely harmless laser light for three-dimensional (3-D) cell scans. This technology allows the researcher to look inside living cells without the use of labeling or markers or any other invasive methods that may potentially modify, damage, or even kill the cell.

The manufacturer says that it requires only a few moments to get up and running with the 3D Cell Explorer. The researcher simply switches on the microscope, positions the sample, and commences acquisition with the dedicated "STEVE" software. Within seconds, a full 3-D image of the cell is loaded to the screen. STEVE’s intuitive interface is used to control the microscope, explore data using interactive digital staining, and even perform quantitative analyses on measurements. Results can easily be shared online or even sent to a 3-D printer.
