product portfolio and related assets from Carestream’s Molecular
Imaging business. Financial terms of the agreement are not being

imaging systems to our preclinical imaging product portfolio. We
believe that Carestream’s optical molecular imaging product line
will complement our other preclinical solutions, presently
consisting of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic particle
imaging (MPI) and X-ray micro computed tomography (microCT). We
also welcome the talented Carestream in-vivo employees to Bruker,
and look forward to their contributions.”
