Imaging Network – Microscopy
Tools, tips and training for microscopy – we offer individual and comprehensive support to researchers at the University of Münster and beyond in the areas of cutting-edge microscopy, reproducible image analysis, and optimal strategies for data management and publication.
Our team provides a wide range of microscopy systems featuring the latest methods and technologies for biomedical research, and supports users in their application. In addition to continuous development, our goal is to familiarise you not only with state-of-the-art microscopy techniques but also with the underlying data management practices – promoting transparency, quality, and reusability in research. To achieve this, we offer tailored advice on experimental design and image analysis, hands-on support for your experiments, and guidance for publishing your results. Together with our preclinical imaging colleagues we form the Münster Imaging Network that is embedded into the Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre (CiM). Our network is a core facility listed in RIsources, the research infrastructure registry of the German Research Foundation (DFG). In addition, our microscopy platform is part of NFDI4BioImage, a consortium within the DFG-funded National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI).
