Infrastructure

The infrastructure of the morphology lab of the ZFMK includes the following labs:

3D reconstructions

Reconstructions allow the virtual 3-dimensional visulaisation of CT scans or histological sections.

Scanning electron microscopy lab

Scanning electron microscopy is a high resolution imaging technique that allows magnifications up to 1 000 000 times.

µ-computed tomography is an imaging technqiue where a sample is rotated within an X-ray beam. The resulting images from different angles are calculated to virtual sections by a computer. The result is a 3-dimensional stack of images showing the anatomy of the organism.

Digital imaging lab

Photomicrography is an imaging technique where digital microscopic images of different focus planes of a sample are calculated into a single sharp image.
