In December 2018, OPTEC signed a cooperation agreement with Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, one of the most important partners in Russian science.
The parties confirmed their intention to cooperate in organizing joint scientific conferences, seminars, training and advisory events, schools and round tables.
Together with Skoltech employees, OPTEC experts will work on developing approaches to studying the properties of materials and objects under study. The agreement presupposes the parties’ joint use of each other’s technical capabilities within the framework of joint projects. The parties also plan to work on distance education programs.
Skoltech laboratories are equipped with modern research equipment and solutions supplied by OPTEC: a ZEISS LSM 800 laser scanning microscope with an Airyscan ultra-high resolution module and a ZEISS Lightsheet Z.1 plane illumination system based on a ZEISS Axio Observer.Z1 light microscope.
