Nikon Well-Being: Automated Cultivation of Cells for Ophthalmic Disease Treatment

Changes in vision, such as difficulty seeing clearly, or distorted shapes, could indicate a possibility of “Age-related Macular Degeneration”, especially in older individuals. Astellas Pharma Inc. is undertaking the challenge of automating the cultivation of cells that can be effective in treating this ophthalmic disease. Nikon's microscopes are supporting the ongoing research and development efforts in this important endeavor.
