Hummingbird Scientific is adding a new Applications Scientist to support customers with their in-situ microscopy research from the first discussions about suitable hardware, product training, to performing in-situ microscopy experiments. Another crucial role for this Applications Scientist is to lead our technical marketing efforts by generating scientific content and presenting it to the microscopy community.
