MBF Bioscience's SLICE™ Wins Prestigious Microscopy Today Innovation Award
SLICE™ Light Sheet Microscope by MBF Bioscience — a compact, benchtop-ready system for high-performance 3D imaging, awarded the 2025 Microscopy Today Innovation Award
The Microscopy Today Innovation Award recognizes instruments and accessories that represent significant advancements in the field of microscopy. SLICE was selected for its innovative engineering, which addresses the critical barriers of cost and complexity that have long limited access to high-end light sheet technology.
"We are truly honored to receive the Microscopy Today Innovation Award, as it is a powerful validation of our mission to democratize advanced science," said Jack Glaser, President of MBF Bioscience. "SLICE was born from the idea that breakthrough research shouldn't be constrained by budget or complexity. This award is a testament to our team's commitment to creating a new standard that delivers superior image quality and unmatched value to every lab."
Unlike legacy systems that typically cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, SLICE is a complete turnkey solution available for under $75,000. Its innovative optical design delivers demonstrably higher image quality, with clearer images and increased signal-to-noise than many more expensive systems. The SLICE offering also includes the powerful BrightSLICE software, providing a seamless acquisition-to-analysis workflow without the need for costly external licenses.
Dr. Raju Tomer, Associate Professor at Columbia University and the inventor of the foundational technology behind SLICE, added, " We are deeply honored by this recognition from the global microscopy community for our efforts to make high-performance light-sheet microscopy accessible to all. We have seen firsthand how this technology can profoundly transform our understanding of biological systems, yet it has remained largely inaccessible to most researchers and clinicians worldwide. We hope this breakthrough will catalyze new discoveries and empower data-driven innovations in human health. We are very grateful to our collaborators at MBF Bioscience for helping turn this vision into reality."
The SLICE system's transparent and all-inclusive annual support model further sets it apart, with a predictable annual fee that covers both hardware maintenance and comprehensive software support. This approach, combined with its streamlined design, makes SLICE an ideal solution for academic labs, microscopy core facilities, and biopharmaceutical R&D teams seeking to accelerate their research pipelines.
