molecular microscopy

Home

Our group "Molecular Microscopy" is part of the chair for "Single-molecule Biophysics" (Antoine van Oijen) and investigates the mechanisms and structures of biological and (bio)chemical systems on the single-molecule level. For this purpose we use a variety of spectroscopic techniques with the main focus on single-molecule fluorescence microscopy and super-resolution imaging (i.e., localization-based sub-diffraction resolution optical imaging as STORM/PALM). Have a look on the research and job pages for more details of our current research projects or get in touch with Thorben Cordes (t.m.cordes@rug.nl).
