ZonMW Enabling Technologies grant for Jacob Hoogenboom

Jacob Hoogenboom has received a ZonMW Enabling Technologies grant to collaborate with the University Medical Center in Groningen to optimize biological sample preparation for the novel multi-beam SEM that is currently being developed by a public-private partnership including ImPhys.

In the prototype multi-beam SEM, a novel transmission detector is used for which tissue is directly placed on a scintillator substrate. With this grant, the team will benchmark the detector performance for tissue prepared according to current standard protocols and then further optimize these protocols for improved performance.
