We assist in planning microscopy-oriented projectschoosing materials and equipmentanalyzing experimental results, processing acquired images ​and presenting dataTogether with continuous training ​of new users, we organize regular courses to introduce users to the most recent microscopy techniques and foster interactions and collaborations between microscopy users at the iMM.+<​html>​

 +The Bioimaging Unit acts as a support structure to help and nurture research done with Light Microscopy. ​The people we work with have amazing questions to answer. But if used incorrectlya microscope can give you wrong answers. At the Bioimaging Unit we focus on people and their questions. We provide ​iMM scientists and visitors with excellence in scientific know-how and expertise in light microscopy methods, in a personalized approach. We sit with researchers to teach themtrain themcreate software tools for them and help them make the most out of the microscopeWe provide support in all steps of research done with Light Microscopy. We help researchers get to that moment when something is seen for the first time. To see Science done right, see it happening. That’s unique.
