FACILITY superresolution:

Multicolor imaging with nanoscale resolution for living and fixed specimens

We are offering the opportunity to try different STED dyes, such as STAR ORANGE and STAR RED (https://abberior.shop/Abberior-Products) for free. We’ll do our best to arrange a session for you and, if needed, provide complimentary samples of the requested dyes. Tips on sample preparation for STED may be found here.

All samples welcome! Cells, tissue, plants, living cells …
