The Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) Light Microscopy Research Group and Corporate Relations Committee are proud to present “A Light Check-In”, a conversation between light microscopy user groups and vendors including Leica, Nikon, Olympus and Zeiss.  This conversation will provide an opportunity for each company to explain how they are being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and how they are adapting to the evolving needs of their customers.  This conversation will be aimed at helping microscope users understand what they can expect from their industry partners and will help these partners understand user needs during this unique and uncertain time.
