In the recently published book Beelden zonder weerga (‘Unparalleled Images’), biochemist Ton van Helvoort and Dirk van Delft, director of Rijksmuseum Boerhaave in Leiden, describe the invention and development of the electron microscope.

Teun Huijben has joined the lab of Daan Brinks for his internship as part of the Nanobiology program. He will work on the creation of a multimodal two-photon microscope, suitable for voltage imaging.

Greta Szabo has joined the lab of Daan Brinks from TU Berlin for her Master thesis project. She will work on the investigation of the photocycle dynamics of proteins, relevant for optogenetic applications, with temporally structured illumination.

Wouter Kessels started his BSc project on "Differentiating lipomatous tumors using a physics and radiomics approach". His supervisors are Frans Vos (TUD) and Martijn Starmans (EMC).

Tuanke de Beun started his BSc project on "Time-lapse OCT imaging of dynamic processes”. His supervisor is Jeroen Kalkman.

Do you have green fingers, are vegetable gardens your hobby or do you have clever ideas about how to make the best greenhouse and look for the best light efficiency? Then take part in the Klus your greenhouse!

We use light and electron microscopy to study how the brain develops.  Our goal is to develop tools to image synapse function and structure in living zebrafish embryos, and connect this to nanoscale maps made using correlative photon and electron techniques.

Tom Joosten started his MSc project on "Lumbar localization for hernia surgery using axial 2D ultrasound”. His supervisors are Frans Vos (TUD) en Theo van Walsum (EMC)
