A new super resolution microscope is available at the ICCE!

The highly complex, multimodal high-speed Structured Illumination Microscope (SIM) for live-cell imaging can be used by our CRC 1430 researchers to decipher important dynamic cellular processes and cell state transitions with very high spatial and temporal precision. In addition to the versatility of different imaging modalities such as multicolor 3D-SIM, 2D-SIM, TIRF-SIM and TIRF and their flexible combinations, the system allows acute light-induced manipulations and the observation of the effects on cellular activities in real time. The Microscope was obtained through DFG funding (Major Research Instrumentation Programme as per Art. 91b GG, INST 20876/294-1 FUGG) to Prof. Perihan Nalbant and Co-Applicants.
