The Multiscale Imaging Centre

At the Multiscale Imaging Centre (MIC) we study how cells behave in organisms in order to understand how organisms develop, how they remain in a state of healthy balance and what happens when they are affected by disease. To do this, we use microscopic and preclinical imaging techniques and develop new ways of labelling cells, recording images and analysing the data.

Various imaging technologies can be used to investigate different aspects of processes in cells and organisms: high-resolution microscopy enables us to magnify minute structures and examine individual cells and their building blocks in detail – yet only ever provides a spatial “snapshot” of the organism. (Pre)clinical imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography have a lower resolution than microscopes, but do allow us to view the entire organism with its tissues and organs. Our broad spectrum of methods enables us to examine individual cells, tissues and organs, as well as organisms as a whole – we call this multiscale imaging.

The Multiscale Imaging Centre is the central research building of the Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre (CiM) at the University of Münster. CiM brings together and supports around 90 research groups from the fields of medicine, biology, chemistry, pharmacy, mathematics, computer science and physics. Our research building provides a central meeting place for our scientific community in Münster as well as for international guests. Around 200 people from ten institutes work within a joint interfaculty infrastructure at the MIC. They pool a key part of the broad-ranging expertise in biomedical imaging and the associated technologies at the University of Münster, which they use to investigate the behaviour of cells in organisms.
