Boehringer Ingelheim Stiftung has committed €7 million to the EMBL Imaging Centre.

That means more opportunities to create groundbreaking, next-gen imaging technologies and provide the necessary support so European life scientists can benefit.

This is so cool - you are not looking reflection or emission of light here on the right - you are looking at a mechanical property of cells, in this case stiffness, using a custom created microscope. Excellent work @embl.org's @prevedel-lab.bsky.social and collaborators

Check out this great write-up about our mobile Optical Coherence Microscope (OCM) and how it contributed to @embl.org's TREC expedition across Europe! 🔬🚚🐠

EMBL @embl.org · Dec 17

EMBL’s Prevedel Group scaled down a microscope to miniature size while scaling up imaging resolution. 🔬

OCM is a portable microscope to image label-free samples, with different magnifications and within fractions of a second.
