Speaking on the development, Amarjeet Singh Tak, Head of RMS Division for India and Neighbouring
Countries stated, “The partnership with Ashoka University signifies a momentous union between ZEISS’s rich
legacy in microscopy solutions and the academic prowess of the university. ZEISS has been at the forefront of
microscopy innovation for over 175 years, and this collaboration is a testament to our commitment to
bridging the gap between industry and students’ community while advancing scientific research in India. The
Core Imaging Facility by ZEISS at Ashoka University will not only showcase ZEISS’s cutting-edge technology but
also serve as a testament to our enduring heritage in microscopy solutions. We believe that by combining our
expertise with the academic excellence of Ashoka University, we can create a platform that fosters
groundbreaking discoveries and sets new standards in scientific exploration”.
“We are delighted to establish the Core Imaging Facility in partnership with ZEISS, providing researchers and
students access to highly sophisticated microscopic technology and know-how, which are a critical bedrock
for explorations and discoveries. Notably, the Facility will have the latest microscopes that only a handful of
labs currently possess in the country. This partnership is a step in Ashoka University’s mission to make India a
hub and global leader in cutting-edge scientific research”, said Somak Raychaudhury, Vice Chancellor,
Ashoka University.
“Much of today’s science—from materials research, biological sciences, medicine, all the way to astronomy—
require the collection of quality images and their analysis. The Zeiss facility at Ashoka University is a
pioneering step that will scale the use of cutting-edge microscopy in the country. Through teaching, training
and research, I am sure that this collaboration strikes a new, and much-needed, path at the frontier of
research,” K VijayRaghavan, Former Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India and
Chairperson, Ashoka University’s Science Advisory Council added.
