Optical Imaging Center Erlangen (OICE)

The OICE offers and coordinates a direct access to modern microscopy technology. The involvement of the OICE within the CRC 1181 allows scientists to obtain the possibility to get a more detailed insight into the molecular mechanisms and processes from a macroscopic to nanoscopic scale.
