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, United States, 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. In 2021, MBF Bioscience acquired Vidrio Technologies. Vidrio Technologies is a provider of software and hardware components for laser scanning and two-photon microscopes. Awards Tibbetts Award 2013 Best Places to Work in Vermont in 2007, 2009 and 2010. 2007 Vermont Small Business Person of the Year – Business Administration, which was presented to co-founder Jack Glaser for his outstanding leadership related to his company’s staying power, growth, sales, innovation, and community contributions.

It also has offices sell and support its line of products in Europe (Delft, Netherlands), China and Taiwan (Shanghai, China), and Japan (Shiroi-shi, Chiba). Products Neurolucida (1988): This microscope system creates and quantifies neuron reconstructions, allowing scientists to quantitatively analyze dendrites, axons, nodes, and synapses. Neuroscientists use this software for research in neurodegenerative diseases, neuropathy, memory, behavior, and ophthalmology. Stereo Investigator (1995): Stereo Investigator is an unbiased stereology system that uses different stereological probes perform quantitative analysis of tissue specimens. Stereo Investigator used in research fields such as neuroscience, pulmonary research, cancer research, and toxicology. Neurolucida 360 (2015): Neurolucida 360 software automatically creates and quantifies neurons, allowing scientists to see the analyze dendrites, axons, nodes, and synapses. Neurolucida 360 works with 3D and 2D images and excels at handling very large images. Neuroscientists use this software for research in neurodegenerative diseases, neuropathy, memory, behavior, and ophthalmology. Biolucida (2011): Created to help share microscope images online and make image management easier for universities, medical institutions, and more. Biolucida is widely used in
