Nikon India establishes CoE in IIT Hyderabad

Nikon India inaugurated its first center of excellence (CoE) at IIT Hyderabad on Tuesday. This CoE will be offering advanced imaging technologies to trainees, visiting scholars, and collaborators across the country. It is also expected to foster collaborations between IIT Hyderabad researchers and Nikon teams. The center can be used by researchers to carry out advanced research works in biology using high-resolution imaging. 

The CoE will be equipped with state-of-the-art imaging technologies from Nikon, like Nikon Inverted Microscope System ECLIPSE Ti2-E for fluorescence imaging, a Nikon ECLIPSE Ts2-FL Inverted Routine Microscope, and a Nikon SMZ800N with a fluorescence attachment for macro imaging. The center will address critical challenges in cell biology and other research areas, facilitating innovative studies across various scientific fields.

"This Centre of Excellence, equipped with our most up-to-date imaging technologies, will not only drive scientific research but also empower researchers and students with the means to push the boundaries across various scientific disciplines. Our goal is to foster an innovative learning environment that will encourage further developments and benefit the community at large,” said Sajjan Kumar, Managing Director of Nikon India.

Last month, Nikon India established an experience center dedicated to the healthcare product range at its headquarters in Gurgaon. This Experience Centre will also focus on microscopy workshops and training for skill development. To be sure, the Healthcare Business is one of the largest Business Segments of Nikon Corporation that offers core Optics and Image analysis technologies.
