How it started
History
The company was founded in 1988 as MicroBrightField, Inc. by Dr. Edmund Glaser and his son Jack Glaser. Their goal was to develop neuroanatomical image software for the research community. The company changed its name from MicroBrightField, Inc. to MBF Bioscience in 2005 to reflect their expansion of products. Currently, MBF Bioscience provides software and hardware solutions for stereology, neuron and vessel reconstruction, whole slide imaging, brain mapping, C. elegans tracking, 2-photon microscopy, fiber photometry, and light sheet imaging, supporting researchers in neuroscience and related fields.. The company's 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, a provider of software and hardware components for laser scanning and two-photon microscopes.
In 2023, MBF Bioscience acquired Neurophotometrics LLC. (NPM), a company specializing in optical equipment.
