As fronteiras tradicionais entre os campos científicos, como a biologia molecular e a biologia do desenvolvimento, estão desaparecendo rapidamente à medida que os pesquisadores procuram conectar os achados em nível molecular, àqueles derivados dos estudos celulares, teciduais e orgânicos
Áreas como biologia molecular, biologia celular, neurobiologia, embriologia, biologia do desenvolvimento e biologia de sistemas têm necessidades crescentes de sistemas de imagens que abrangem escalas espaciais de células únicas a organismos inteiros.
Com essas demandas em mente, a Nikon desenvolveu um microscópio estéreo que apresenta uma grande taxa de zoom de 25: 1, alta resolução e excepcional capacidade de transmissão de fluorescência.
