On July 19, 2026, the Forum on Key‑Technology Innovation & Application of Domestic Scientific Instruments was held at the School of Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Experts and representatives from universities, research institutes and scientific‑instrument enterprises gathered for in‑depth discussions covering key‑technology innovation, application promotion and industry‑university‑research collaboration, exploring new pathways for high‑quality development of domestic scientific instruments.

Advancing Industry‑University‑Research Collaboration for Domestic Instrument Development

Centered on the theme “Evaluation‑driven Innovation, Joint Progress of Industry and Research”, the forum focused on industrial growth, key‑technology innovation and university‑enterprise joint application. It builds an open cooperation platform to help domestic instruments evolve from “workable” to “reliable and widely‑adopted”, fostering a healthy application ecosystem.

Chen Youhua, Vice‑Dean of Nexcope Research Institute, joined the round‑table session “Breaking New Ground via Industry‑University‑Research‑User Collaboration for Domestic Scientific Instruments”. He exchanged views with academic and industry representatives on research‑driven technical adaptation, instrument popularization and collaborative innovation mechanisms, offering insights for building the domestic instrument application ecosystem.

In the afternoon, Dean Chen delivered a keynote speech Development of Domestic Super‑Resolution Microscopic Imaging Technology. He shared global trends, innovation directions and application prospects of advanced microscopy, as well as Nexcope’s practices in precision optics manufacturing, microscopic imaging R&D and scientific research applications.

Deepening Collaboration to Upgrade the Scientific Instrument Industry

Nexcope keeps focusing on optical microscopes and independent innovation, integrating technical R&D with industrial deployment to enhance the value and service capability of domestic scientific instruments. Moving forward, Nexcope will further cooperate with universities, research institutes and industry partners, pursue innovations for high‑end microscopic imaging, and contribute to the advancement of the domestic scientific instrument sector.
