Farewell
Dr. Markus Dürrenberger retired at the end of May 2023 after 37 years at the University of Basel. His heart beat for microscopy and ultra-rapid freeze drying. His passion for microbiological research was unmistakable. Thanks to his…
We warmly welcome Alex to the Nano Imaging Team!
Dr. Alexander Vogel started working with us in the Nano Imaging Lab on May 1, 2023 and complements our team with his well-founded knowledge in the field of electron microscopy, in particular transmission electron microscopy (TEM). During…
Highly precise cutting accuracy on our new FEI Versa3D Dual Beam
The FEI Versa 3D dual beam microscope recently built up in our lab is characterized by a comparable imaging and cutting resolution as our well-utilized FEI Helios NanoLab 650 S field emission scanning electron microscope and meets our…
Crystalline structures made visible – the new TEM/STEM in the Nano Imaging Lab
Our new scanning transmission electron microscope “JEOL JEM-F200 cFEG” has a cold field emission source and an acceleration voltage that is more than twice as high as the previous TEM in our laboratory. This, as well as the ability to scan…
New service for our customers: Digital Photomontage and Coloration
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images, which typically come in black and white, are already rather impressive and beautiful. By putting them into a colorful scene, we can highlight mechanisms and functions to better understand what we…
K775X Quorum Turbo Freeze Dryer
With this new equipment we developed an improved preparation technique to dry objects from liquid origin for investigation at SEM, TEM or AFM: Ultra Rapid Freeze Drying. Samples are first ultra-rapidly frozen and then the amorphous ice is…
New Generation 3D Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope
The new Keyence VK-X1100 was installed in our lab at the end of September 2019 and has been running to our greatest satisfaction ever since. The following features are just a few of the most valuable innovations and properties of this…
