Our publications

Together with the M. Šlouf, Strachota groups (IMC CAS), Krzyzanek team (ISI CAS), ThermoFisher Scientific, NenoVision and Crytur, we are collaborating on the development of conductive resins for SBF-SEM, 3D cryo-EM workflow on large volume samples, the use of cathodoluminescence signal and AFM in SEM.

Our team

Our laboratory participates in: CZBI and Prague node of Euro-BioImaging which support access to the imaging services available here. Isidore Project, CZBI-Open-acces.
