Quantitative characterization of morphology, dynamics and kinetics of soft and biological samples
Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
The system supports a wide range of modern microscopic techniques, including bright-field, phase-contrast, dark-field, wide-field fluorescence, and confocal microscopy. Measurements can be performed under strictly controlled environmental conditions, with temperature and humidity precisely regulated via an integrated incubator system to ensure reproducible and physiologically relevant conditions. The data analysis pipeline includes a variety of advanced methods, such as Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM) and particle tracking, thereby enabling the quantitative characterization of dynamic processes across a wide range of length and time scales.
