Dr Henning Ortkrass, as team leader, has secured funding for an EXIST research transfer project from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The project, which has received funding of approximately 1.15 million, will run for 18 months and aims to develop prototypes of a novel super-resolution microscope for the planned spin-off start-up and to test them in practical applications. The innovative microscope stands out due to its extremely compact dimensions and a very wide range of imaging modalities, which make this system a universal solution for research questions in biomedicine, pharmacy and basic research.
