Optical nanotechnologies for relevant physiological approaches to a modern biology

The group applies and develops technologies for the observation of large and complex 3D biological specimens as a function of time. The technology of choice is the light sheet-based fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), which illuminates a specimen from the side and observes it at an angle of 90°. The focal volumes of the detection system and of the light sheet overlap.
