Optical facilities

Our optical facilities harbor both dissecting microscope for sample preparation as well as high quality stereo microscope (such as the Olympus SZX12) equipped with digital cameras for morphological and histological research. Centerpiece of the optical facilities is the new high-end 3D digital microscope Keyence VHX-600 with an auto montage system for 3D sample documentation. The system, located in our optical lab, is a joined acquisition of 5 IFZ work groups.
