-[[team|{{ ​ ::​ubi_team_2022.jpeg?​0x300|}}]]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.+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.
