Digital microscopy

There is a workstation for digital microscopy in the computer room; this is available for diploma students, doctoral students and employees of the house. A Leica DFC 480 digital camera is connected to the corresponding PC. This camera can be used either with a high-quality binocular (Leica MZ-APO) or with a microscope (Leica system microscope DM LB with fluorescence device). Suitable software is available for image processing as well as special software for 3D visualization. The use by students for a Bachelor thesis, for example, takes place after consultation with the respective supervisor.
