Cells, tissues, organisms

Images from research conducted at the Multiscale Imaging Centre at the University of Münster

24 images afford insights into cells, vascular systems, the nervous system and immune system, as well as into new possibilities in biomedical imaging. The images were created using high-resolution microscopy techniques and (pre)clinical methods such as MRI and PET and originate from studies of cell cultures, fruit flies, zebrafish, mice and humans.

Images that reveal what is happening inside cells and organisms are among the most important tools in medicine and the life sciences. They make significant advances possible in research and provide vital information for patient care.
