MBF Bioscience is a biotech company that develops microscopy software and hardware for bioscience research and education. MBF Bioscience’s main location is Williston, Vermont, USA, but has offices that market, sell, and supports its line of hardware and software products throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

History

The company was founded in 1988 as MicroBrightField,Inc by father and son, Dr. Edmund Glaser and Jack Glaser. Their goal was to develop neuroanatomical image software for the research community. To reflect their expanded range of products and mission, the company changed its name from MicroBrightField, Inc to MBF Bioscience in 2004. Now, MBF Bioscience provides solutions for stereology, neuron reconstruction, whole slide imaging, brain mapping, C. elegans tracking, and 2-photon microscopy. The company products are used in a variety of fields including stem cell research, cancer research, neuroanatomical studies, lung, kidney, reproductive, cardiac and toxicology research.[2]

In 2021, MBF Bioscience acquired Vidrio Technologies. Vidrio Technologies is a provider of software and hardware components for laser scanning and two-photon microscopes.[3]
