Background Bio-imaging is a rapidly advancing field of research with a unique potential brought forward by, among others, two non-invasive techniques: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which comprises a variety of tools ranging from high-resolution anatomical structure visualization to functional studies and even molecular-level description of metabolic events in the cell; and Positron Emission To

Bioimaging is a rapidly advancing field of research with a unique potential. In parallel, the need for competitive bioimaging infrastructures has emerged at major universities. The equipment associated with advanced and up-to-date bioimaging, as well as requirements for maintenance, staff expertise and data handling impose a necessity to regard bioimaging as a common interest for a whole universit

Electron microscopy is the process of greatly magnifying tiny particles in order to see and analyse them. The use of electrons allows 10.000 x plus magnification, which is not possible using light microscopy and atomic resolution. In general, electron microscopy can yield the following information:Topography: the surface features of an object or "how it looks"Morphology: the shape and size of the
