A machine allowing researchers to rely on objective, automatized readouts instead of subjective manual counting under the microscope. Incredible pictures. And the possibility to follow live cellular events. The Operetta is the answer to these demands. The interest in using the new MultiPark infrastructure is big. In March, MultiPark received the new Operetta CLS instrument, upgrading the former Ce
