PIXE Anlage

PIXE - Particle Induced X-Ray Emission

PIXE is a nuclear analytical technique, ideal for trace element detection and quantification. It is the most commonly used method for the bulk analysis of geological, biological, environmental and cultural heritage samples.

Staining of MOSP, GFAP and DAPI in a neural cell culutre from rat brain

Phase contrast and fluorescence microscopic long time recordings of living cells

Long-time recordings of living cells allow to investigate physiologic processes that occur in the range of minutes to hours. Typical examples are cell migration, differentiation and growth. In combination with multicolor fluorescent recordings, it additionally allows to investigate the changes in the distribution of cellular proteins.

RBS - Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry

Rutherford backscattering spectrometry allows to examine the chemical composition of sample materials. RBS is a widely-used method in various fields.


SICM von HeLa-Zellen

SICM – High-resolution imaging of the surface of living cells

Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM) is a contact-free scanning probe technique that allows to map the surface of a sample in electrolyte solution at room temperature. In SICM, the probe is a glass micro- or nanopipette and the ionic current through the opening of the pipette is used to determine the distance between probe tip and sample. 

STED Vimentin in PtK2 cells

STED – Super-resolution fluorescence recordings

Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy circumvents the diffraction limit of light by utilizing the physico-chemical properties of the fluorophor. It allows to record fluorescence images with a higher level of detail compared to diffraction-limited techniques such as confocal microscopy.

Eingangsbereich des Isotopenlabors

Working with unstable isotopes

Unstable isotopes are used in a wide variety of scientific fields, from life science to material science. However, using unstable isotopes requires special safety and administrative measures. We offer lab space that allow working with unstable isotopes and support in the administrative tasks. 

XPS-Anlage

XPS/ AES X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy

XPS and AES are sensitive analytical techniques, which are complementary to the ion beam supported analytical methods.
