OBJECTIVES AND SPECIFICATIONS

  • Multicolor fluorescence imaging can be performed without spectral crosstalk to analyze sub-cellular molecules or organelles in fixed and living cells, in 3D reconstructed organoids or in 3D printed cellular tissues.
  • Biological molecules, such as proteins and their molecular interactions can be measured on a nanometer scale.

AREAS OF IMPACT AND APPLICATIONS

  • Optical imaging of immune system cells
  • Analysis of cancer cell lines
  • Investigations of drought-resistant plants
  • Biodiesel and energy research
