SubscribeCarl Zeiss wins the Cell Biology Instruments category at The Life Science Industry Awards - “The Scientist’s Choice”
Cell Biology Microscopy - Life Science Industry Award 2007
Carl Zeiss once again proves its leadership in technical excellence and customer satisfaction in the field of high-quality microscope systems by beating off 28 other finalists to win the Cell Biology Microscopy Instruments category at the Life Science Industry Awards 2007 - The Scientist's Choice.
"The Scientists Choice is the ultimate accolade for any instrument manufacturer," says Aubrey Lambert, marketing manager at Carl Zeiss UK. "This is not an award for a single instrument but recognition of the whole company's attributes across the board, from R&D and manufacturing to service and support. It demonstrates our commitment to innovation and excellence and our leadership in creating solutions optimally tailored to the needs of modern biomedical research that provide scientists with tools that increase the speed, efficiency and success of their work.
The 2007 Life Science Industry Awards was based on over 3,000 responses to an online survey from readers of "The Scientist" and registered members of the "Science Advisory Board", the world's largest online community of scientists and healthcare professionals. Consideration was given not only to practical aspects and outstanding properties of the product or complete solution, but also to the cost/benefit ratio.
High Quality Microscopes
Carl Zeiss has won Life Science Industry Awards in each of the last four competitions. Explaining the company's continuing success, Lambert says, "In other microscope companies it's still the physicists and engineers in the development team who decide what goes into the product. At Zeiss we have a multi-discipline approach. Our biologists, the people with the application edge, determine feature sets from the market-leading options given to them by the engineering team.
Laser Scanning Microscopes
"With high quality light microscopes, such as Axio Imager, Axio Observer and Cell Observer, and advanced imaging techniques, including image processing software, as well as high-tech laser scanning microscopes in the LSM 5 product line, Zeiss microscopes enable the observation of biological specimens of all types. However, we excel in the visualisation of dynamic processes in living cells, tissue and organisms, an area of outstanding importance for identifying the causes of disease and the development of the appropriate drugs."
