The SfN 2017 meeting is the culmination of an exciting year of new technological achievements at MBF Bioscience. Our new version 2017 of Neurolucida, Stereo Investigator, and Neurolucida 360 features a totally re-designed interface and has been an overwhelming success with our customers. We've also expanded the stereology family with Stereo Investigator Cleared Tissue edition and Stereo Investigator Whole Slide Imaging edition. And we have...
