MBF Bioscience is a small company that develops software and hardware for bioscience research and biomedical applications. With the main office in Williston, Vermont, USA, the company markets, sells and supports its products from offices on three continents.

Overview

The company was founded as MicroBrightField, Inc. in 1988 by the father and son team of Dr. Edmund Glaser and Jack Glaser. Their goal was to develop neuroanatomical imaging software for the research community. The company changed its name to MBF Bioscience in 2004. It provides solutions for stereology, neuron reconstruction, microscopic and whole slide imaging, brain mapping, worm tracking. Specializing in neuroscience research, their products are used in a variety of fields including stem cell research, neuroanatomical studies, lung, kidney, reproductive, cardiac and toxicology research. Its original product Neurolucida has evolved into Neurolucida 360, a powerful system capable of automatically tracing neurons and detecting somas, dendritic spines and varicosities.
