Community-based initiative improves reproducibility in microscopy and imaging

The new protocol represents a worldwide standard to assess illumination quality in microscopy - Researchers from the FMI Facility for Advanced Imaging and Microscopy (FAIM) are drivers of a large-scale international initiative dedicated to improving quality assessment and quality control in light microscopy. Recently, the workgroup chaired by the Head of FAIM delivered the first protocol for this initiative. It will help researchers from around the world improve the reliability, accuracy, and eventually reproducibility of their imaging experiments. Technology development is at the forefront of scientific advances. The technology platforms that support our research groups at the FMI are state-of-the-art. They are run by experts who not only stay at the forefront of their field but also actively contribute to pushing its boundaries, together with colleagues from around the world. Our Facility for Advanced Imaging and Microscopy (FAIM) is a prime example.
