Nikon Instruments Europe has donated a high end research Eclipse Ti inverted microscope to the Harley-Charity Scope project, part of the Harley Davidson Charity Funds Austria, for use by the charity, Austrian Muscle Research (ÖMF). ÖMF supports projects for research into muscle diseases and is part of the Treat NMD Neuromuscular Network.

Discussions with Professor Reginald Bittner, Director of the Neuromuscular Research Unit at the Centre for Anatomy and Cell Biology, Medical University of Vienna, and the Vice President of ÖMF, led to a realisation of the enormity and consequences of a diagnosis of a neuromuscular disease, in particular the short life span and lack of treatment for sufferers. Nikon Europe, working through the auspices of the Harley-Charity Scope project, took the decision to help the charity by supplying Professor Bittner with the means to progress his research, with its most advanced inverted microscope, the Eclipse Ti.

In addition, Harald Bayer, Manager Nikon Instruments Austria, undertook the coordination of the four project teams involved: ÖMF, Harley Davidson Charity-Funds Austria, Nikon Instruments Europe and MMI, Medizinische Universität Wien, Forschung, enabling the Harley-Charity Scope project to be realised within only two months.
