Imaging Facility
Our imaging facility offers researchers access to state-of-the-art equipment and gives guidance and training to researchers in advanced optical imaging techniques.
A particular focus of the facility is to educate and train both students and researchers so they can independently design, apply and analyse their own imaging experiments.
