Next generation live-cell imaging platforms

As CSR Biotech has grown, so have our imaging technologies, our range of applications, our global network and the way we support our customers. Our new website reflects that growth. It’s more than a new look: it makes every interaction with CSR easier, from discovering a technology to getting support once your microscope is running.

Super-resolution and live-cell imaging technologies in one place

The new technology pages bring the full CSR portfolio together, so you can compare approaches and see which fits your research:

• Structured illumination microscopy (SIM): MI-SIM super-resolution for live-cell imaging
• SIM with spinning-disk confocal: Cell Xpanse, a multimodal platform for fast, optically sectioned imaging
• SIM with label-free 3D imaging: Cell Xtreme, combining fluorescence super-resolution with optical diffraction tomography (ODT)
• Spinning-disk confocal with label-free imaging: Cell Xelence, for high-speed volumetric and multi-channel live-cell imaging

Microscopy applications: matching imaging to your biological question

Choosing an imaging system starts with a research question, not a product. The applications section shows how super-resolution, live-cell and label-free techniques address real challenges in cell biology and the life sciences.

Book a microscope demo or talk to an imaging specialist

Whether you want to discuss an application, find the right system for your lab or see one in action, you can now reach the right team directly. Request a demonstration or speak to an imaging specialist from any technology page.

Find CSR Biotech partners and distributors worldwide

Our international organization and partner network continue to grow. The new site makes it easy to find your local CSR contact or distributor, wherever you are.

New online support ticketing system for CSR microscope users

For researchers already using CSR systems, this is one of the most important changes. We have introduced a web-based Customer Support Ticketing System, so you can now submit technical support inquiries directly online. Each request goes to the right team and is tracked throughout the support process, so nothing gets lost and you always know where your inquiry stands.

Better imaging, better access, better support

From discovering a technology to running experiments and getting help when you need it, we want working with CSR to be straightforward at every stage.

CSR Biotech is pleased to announce a new partnership with Altium US, expanding access to our advanced imaging technologies for life science researchers across the United States.

The partnership brings together CSR Biotech's expertise in super-resolution imaging with Altium's experience supporting researchers with advanced scientific instrumentation and technologies across the US market.

Expanding access to super-resolution imaging

At CSR Biotech, our imaging technologies are developed to give researchers new ways to investigate cellular processes, combining exceptional spatial resolution with the temporal resolution required to study dynamic biological events.

Through our partnership with Altium US, more researchers will be able to access these capabilities alongside local expertise and support.

Altium works with life science organizations across the United States, providing instrumentation and technical expertise to research teams working across a range of biological applications. Adding CSR Biotech to its portfolio will extend the advanced imaging solutions available to its customers and create new opportunities for researchers interested in high-resolution and live-cell imaging.

Supporting life science research across the US

For CSR Biotech, the partnership represents an important step in making our technology more widely available internationally.

Researchers increasingly need to observe biological processes at high resolution without losing sight of how those processes develop over time. Our technology is designed around this challenge, helping scientists capture detailed information from dynamic cellular systems and investigate questions that can be difficult to address using conventional imaging approaches.

Working with Altium will help us bring these capabilities to more laboratories across the US, backed by a team with established experience supporting the scientific community.

We're delighted to welcome Altium US as a CSR Biotech partner and look forward to working together to support researchers, develop new applications and enable new discoveries in cellular biology.

We’ll be attending ELMI 2026 this June and would love to see you there.

📍 Coimbra, Portugal
📅 June 16 to 19, 2026
📌 Booth #A2 - Workshop room 1.5B

During the meeting, we’ll be launching new Cell Xtreme system features, including SIM and label-free ODT technologies, with demonstrations taking place in Workshop Room #1.5B.

If you’re attending ELMI 2026, feel free to bring your own samples and see how MI-SIM performs on your material.

It’s a chance to explore the technology in person, discuss imaging workflows with the team, and see the latest developments in advanced microscopy.
