EM-Histo Lab
The service team of the EM-Histo lab assists the institute's scientists by producing histological preparations for light- and electron-microscopic analyses.
We help our scientists and guests with the design, implementation and analysis of their projects. Our technical know-how and the provision of equipment and chemicals ensure a quick and efficient realization of scientific projects.
The instruction of trainees is likewise part of our service.
