Über uns
Since its foundation in 1987, the Institut für Nanophotonik Göttingen has been a pioneer in the transfer of application-oriented research between science and industry. Its research activities range from the development of novel laser measurement techniques, laser-assisted product refinement and the development of new light sources to applications in the life sciences and medical technology.
The Department of Optical Nanoscopy conducts research in the Nobel Prize-winning field of superresolution fluorescence microscopy and develops novel methods and instruments for materials science and the life sciences.
