 ===== Microscope overview =====
-The Nikon-HTM/HCS microscope is a fully automated microscope capable of high-throughput imaging and screening of samples (eg, Ibidi chamber slides or well-plates); with the help of fully programmable and customizable acquisition protocols.
+The Nikon HTM-HCS is a fully automated microscope capable of high-throughput imaging and screening of samples (eg, Ibidi chamber slides or well-plates); with the help of fully programmable and customizable acquisition protocols.
 The system is equipped with a CoolLED fluorescence illuminator with 4 excitation bands, and an Andor Zyla 4.2 sCMOS camera with 4.0 MPixels with a large field of view capable of maximum of 100 FPS at full frame (2048x2048).
