PoL Microscopy
Cluster of Excellence Physics of Life
The Physics of Life (PoL) Microscopy is a core facility which offers state-of-the-art technology for imaging across scales. We have a wide range of instruments to support experiments involving a variety of model organisms (live and fixed), cultured cells, and organoids.
Microscopy techniques in biology and biophysics offer a tremendously powerful and complex toolbox requiring highly specific expertise for optimal usage and maintenance. At PoL Microscopy we provide imaging services from scientists for scientists which include both optimally maintained instrumentation as well as application training and support.
