Contributes to SDG(s):
Research into structural changes in living cells is taking off in the medical world. Unfortunately, the existing technology requires researchers to undergo long and intensive training in microscopy. Furthermore, cell research on a microscopic scale is traditionally done with intense laser light, which damages and eventually kills living cells. As a result, living cells can usually only be studied to a limited extent.
The high-quality microscopes of Confocal.nl are more user-friendly than existing technology and can be easily connected to existing microscopes. They are also very economical with laser light despite their super high resolution. In this way, Confocal.nl efficiently creates many more possibilities with existing medical equipment.
“Live cell imaging is a rapidly emerging and promising technology for the global fight against diseases such as cancer,” says Janet Nieboer, CEO of ROM InWest. “With their unique microscopes, Confocal.nl makes this technology widely accessible to researchers worldwide. The more targeted and effective treatment methods that we contribute to with our investment in Confocal.nl, in turn, lead to lower healthcare costs. The entire society benefits from this.”
Tiny Library believes that parents should be able to rent baby supplies easily and affordably instead of buying them, so that we all have to buy far fewer new items.
