We're thrilled to announce the successful [acquisition of Spectral Instruments Imaging LLC by Bruker Corporation](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240206814523/en/Bruker-Acquires-Spectral-Instruments-Imaging-the-Performance-Leader-in-Preclinical-In-Vivo-Optical-Imaging-Systems). This milestone marks a significant achievement for both companies and underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional legal support in complex transactions. SPZ was honored to advise Spectral Instruments Imaging with respect to the transaction. 

## About Spectral Instruments Imaging

Established in 2009 in Tucson, [Spectral Instruments Imaging](https://spectralinvivo.com/company-history/) has been a leader in preclinical in-vivo optical imaging systems for over two decades. Their cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions have propelled them to the forefront of the industry, making them a valuable asset in the scientific community. Bruker Corporation's acquisition of SII fills a critical gap in its technology and product portfolio, further strengthening its position in the preclinical imaging market.
