to flourish.

There are currently seven mesoSPIMs in operation across Europe, and several more instruments under construction. One of the new mesoSPIMs is hosted by the Advanced Lightsheet Imaging Center (ALICe) at the Wyss Center. Open to external users, ALICe offers a complete pipeline from sample preparation to image analysis, under the scientific guidance of experts from the University of Geneva and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).

Dr. Stéphane Pagès, ALICe Scientific Coordinator said, "We are very proud to have one of only seven mesoSPIM microscopes in the world at the Wyss Center. MesoSPIM microscopes solve the longstanding problem of how to achieve exceptional image quality in largeThe present invention relates generally to package tracking systems, and specifically to systems for automatically reading and decoding package information, such as alphanumeric destination addresses.
Postal services and package delivery companies typically handle as many as several million parcels each day. Automated parcel sorting and routing facilities are being used increasingly in order to improve the efficiency and accuracy with which this huge volume of parcels is handled.
The process of sorting and tracking parcels as they proceed through sorting centers requires that each parcel bear two types of information: the destination address of the parcel and a tracking number, which uniquely distinguishes it from other parcels in the system. The information is generally printed on a parcel label, with the destination address in alphanumeric form, and the tracking number
