The research groups REGE, REIM, BENE, BITE, CMIM, EFAR, ICMI, ITVD and LIVR are all active in medical research at the VUB and are all experienced in the use of classical fluorescence confocal microscopy. They now share the need to image biological samples beyond the current confocal limitations in tissue size and acquisition speed. Classical confocal microscopy has reached its frontier as the high light intensity used is toxic for live samples ...
