Licensing Agreement

The University of California, San Francisco, has given Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH license to commercialize a superresolution microscopy technique developed by scientists at the university. Called structured illumination microscopy, the technique combines a special illumination pattern with state-of-the-art computational image analysis. Compared with conventional microscopes, its resulting superresolution images have up to double the resolution in all three spatial directions. The agreement grants the company the right to integrate the technique into its microscope systems.
