IRR Imaging facilities

The Imaging Facility offers a number of microscopes to cover the needs of most scientists. We can image samples from a few cm down to 60nm.

Our facility provides shared instruments that expand outside of classic microscopy.

Microscopes can easily create very large datasets and images are more than pretty pictures. We support data management and data analysis.
