I look forward to working with our colleagues at Nikon in the further development and deployment of next generation imaging systems for years to come.”

Andy Davis, general manager, Sales, Nikon Instruments added, “We are thrilled to partner with Dr. Pelletier and the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute in bringing state-of-the-art microscopy systems to the greater scientific community in Toronto.
