Scientific Service & Facilities

At our institute, we use a wide range of state-of-the-art methods. Many of these technologies, be it electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, fluorescence light microscopy, or crystallization, require profound experience and expertise. Our researchers therefore receive active support for their projects from our scientific facilities which are headed by highly qualified colleagues.
