| - | {{::team_photo_2020.jpg?600 |}} \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ The Bioimaging Unit acts as a support structure to help and nurture research done with Light Microscopy inside the institute. Besides managing resources, the Bioimaging Unit provides iMM scientists and visitors with excellence in scientific know-how and expertise in using light microscopy methods for their research. We assist in planning microscopy-oriented projects, choosing materials and equipment, analyzing experimental results, processing acquired images and presenting data. Together 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> |

| - | Photo: [[https://www.jorgefiganiercastro.com/|Jorge Figanier Castro]] | + | 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 incorrectly, a 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 them, train them, create software tools for them and help them make the most out of the microscope. We 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. |
