Optical Microscopy

"A picture is worth a thousand words", said Stefan Hell, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry and father of nanoscopy, opening his lecture on 8 December 2014 in Stockholm. And this has been true for the life sciences since the invention of the microscope.

Electron Microscopy

“In basic research, the use of the electron microscope has revealed to us the complex universe of the cell, the basic unit of life.” (Gunter Blobel)

Cryo-Electron Microscopy

“The beauty of science lies in the intricate complexities of the natural world.” (Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin)

Crystallography

"A great advantage of X-ray analysis as a method of chemical structure analysis is its power to show some totally unexpected and surprising structure with, at the same time, complete certainty" (Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin)

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

“… magnetic resonance (…) offers so much freedom and opportunities (…) to explore new experimental schemes that can be fruitfully applied in a variety of disciplines“. Richard R. Ernst, Nobel Lecture, December 9, 1992

Mass Spectrometry

“I think the hard-core chemists saw it as kind of an unexplainable, voodoo, black magic kind of a tool”. László Tőkés, “The allure of mass spectrometry: From an early-day chemist's perspective”, 2017

Spectroscopy

"The truth is always found in simplicity, never in confusion." - Isaac Newton

Flow Cytometry

"Cytometry reflects the beauty of the world one cell at a time." - Dorothy E. Lewis
