<div><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Condensed';">Primo is an innovative solution for printing proteins on cell culture dishes. Directly mounted on an inverted microscope, the device consists of an optical illumination module coupled with the use of PLPP,
a photo-activator molecule. The image to be printed is projected by a UV laser through the microscope in the presence of PLPP, which catalyses the UV effect. The protein is then added and will bind to the illuminated areas.</span></div>

<div>One of the Zeiss widefield scopes will be set up for quantitative phase imaging from Phi Optics.</div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans'; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Phi Optics patented technology – Spatial Light Interference Microscopy (SLIM) – employs optical interferometry for extreme sensitivity to structure and dynamics. Phi Optics implements
SLIM as an add-on to all major brand optical microscopes (10X to 100X magnifications) and overlays with fluorescence. It connects via C-mount and uses the white-light illumination source of the microscope.</span></div>
