## Description

The microscope will be funded as part of a BBSRC Midlands Open bioimaging award and will be used as a remote controlled microscope for teaching and research\. We have recently installed two new High Content Imaging systems which were supplied with a suite of bespoke software and cloud processing\. The plans are to connect these systems and the new wide field microscope through Zeiss Datastore and operating software to create a microscopy facility that can be controlled and accessed externally by students, research staff, collaborating universities and external research companies\. To control and use the microscopes to their full capability requires operation through Zeiss Datastore and Zen OS\.
