Awards announced at Microscopy &
Microanalysis Meeting, Cleveland, Ohio, 28th July – 1st August,
2024
CrestOptics S.p.A., a manufacturer of high-end microscopy
solutions and advanced systems for fluorescence microscopy and
diagnostic applications, today announced that its CICERO spinning
disk confocal system has been named a ‘Top 10 Best Microscopy
Innovation’ by Microscopy Today, an industry-leading microscopy
publication from the Microscopy Society of America (MSA). Launched
in April 2023, CICERO was developed as a compact and cost-effective
solution to improve access to high-end imaging for the wider
scientific community1.
Microscopy Today’s annual Innovation Award recognizes leading
technological advances that its panel of expert judges predict will
have the most significant impact in the efficiency and innovation
of the microscopy community. Those selected are deemed to be able
to provide better, faster, easier, or entirely new methods of
analysis to revolutionize workflows using a microscope or
microanalytical instrument. In 2022, CrestOptics’ DeepSIM super
resolution confocal microscope module was recognized with the
award2.
The CICERO system is an all-in-one solution for widefield and
confocal imaging, expanding CrestOptics’ portfolio to enable
accessible fluorescence imaging within one compact,
budget-friendly, yet high-performing solution. The spinning disk
confocal instrument has been designed and engineered to easily
integrate into existing and custom workflows, with maximum
configuration flexibility, to support a seamless and user-friendly
transition across a broad range of applications in basic and
applied research. It facilitates streamlined transition between
imaging modes as researchers’ requirements progress, supporting
informative data collection during widefield mode, such as cell
monolayers and tissue sections, and higher-quality analysis of
larger 3D structures, including organoids or whole organisms, in
confocal.
Alessandra Scarpellini, Chief Commercial Officer,
CrestOptics, commented “CICERO is achieving great success in
the microscopy market. Our aim was to engineer a system that is
unique from other solutions in the market, providing all
laboratories with easy access to high-quality imaging with maximum
configuration flexibility, and we are delighted to see it
recognized, not only with this award but also with growing
notoriety in the field.” She added: “Studying the market, we
realized the need for an instrument that was at the same time
powerful and easy to integrate into different platforms. This is
precisely what we envision CICERO will achieve: supporting
scientists as they embark on a confocal journey and guiding them
toward more meaningful discoveries.”
“Our focus with CICERO has been stripping down epifluorescence
and confocal to their essential components to achieve a compact,
budget-friendly yet performing and powerful system.” said
Federico Filesi, Electronics Engineers & Project Manager for
CICERO project. He continued: “My wish is to see our customers
make good use of our engineering and design features and to ease
their daily work with the smoothest confocal experience.”
