MicroBrightField is dedicated to providing cutting edge tools for researchers to advance the field of understanding in the biological sciences.

MicroBrightField was founded in 1987 by Jack R. Glaser, former director of the Computer Morphometric Facility of the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at the University of Vermont School of Medicine, and his father, Dr. Edmund M. Glaser, professor emeritus of Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Their goal was to develop powerful and affordable neuroanatomical imaging software for the research community.

Neurolucida is the product of over 30 years of pioneering experience in neuroimaging. Dr. Glaser co-developed the first computer microscope in 1964 and the Image Combining Computer Microscope in 1980 with the late Dr. Hendrik Van der Loos. Today, the company's flagship product, Neurolucida, is the most widely used Neuron Tracing and Brain Mapping system in research laboratories throughout the world. Stereo Investigator has also become the most widely used design based stereology system.

MicroBrightField's commitment to customer support has gained high praise from the distinguished scientists in various disciplines who use our products.

Our team at MicroBrightField has won a reputation for developing systems that continue to evolve to meet research demands in the constantly advancing fields of computer microscopy.
